HERA Ovarian Cancer Foundation

Mission The mission of the HERA Ovarian Cancer Foundation is to eliminate ovarian cancer by promoting Health, Empowerment, Research, and Awareness.

HERA recognizes that when a woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer it is important that she feels empowered to seek the treatments that best fit her needs. At the heart of HERA is the underlying premise that women need to have the knowledge and the confidence to fully understand and advocate for the direction of their healthcare. Through fundraising events that include rock climbing and other physically challenging activities, HERA helps participants discover their own inner strength, while at the same time providing much needed education about ovarian cancer. The money raised targets and supports cutting edge research to encourage early detection, find improved treatments, and work towards a future cure.
