9/4/09 Syracuse: Interview of Frieda Weeks by Big Mike and Melissa of Sunny 102 Radio

Why we asking for your help? Heather Weeks was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 23, a few weeks after she began working as an executive assistant at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. After her cancer diagnosis, her dream of a life as a dancer became a mission to spread the word about the serious danger of Ovarian Cancer. She wanted to use every available communication method to get the word out to all women. Present estimates indicate 1 in 78 women will contract Ovarian Cancer over their lifetime. Every women must know the early symptoms of ovarian cancer; most women are unaware of these key early warning symptoms. Commonly thought to be a disease that only effects middle age women- it can strike at any age. This is why education is so important.
Hope for heather.org is the premier non-profit educational organization in Central New York dedicated to finding a cure for Ovarian Cancer by funding research and improving survival through education and early detection.
