New Charity Fights Ovarian Cancer Silent Killer
16 Jun
Summary
- A new charity, The Ovarian Circle, has been launched to raise awareness.
- It was founded in memory of a mother who died from ovarian cancer.
- The charity aims to provide support and fund research for ovarian cancer.
A new charity, The Ovarian Circle, has been established in Wolverhampton to combat ovarian cancer. Sim Matarazzo founded the organization in honor of her mother, who tragically passed away from the disease in December.
Matarazzo described her mother as a warm and loving individual, and established The Ovarian Circle to support other families facing similar challenges. The charity's initial efforts have already yielded over £3,000 in donations during its first month of operation.
Recognizing ovarian cancer as a 'silent killer,' Matarazzo emphasized the importance of early detection and encourages women to seek medical advice for any concerns. The charity plans to host regular coffee mornings, starting July 4th, to foster a sense of community and provide a space for discussion and support.
Looking ahead, Matarazzo aspires to create a dedicated therapy space for families affected by ovarian cancer within the next three years. The charity's name symbolizes a circle of support, bringing people together as a community.
