Amy's Foundation, in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic, is confronting a devastating truth: there is no early detection test for ovarian cancer. Unlike other cancers, ovarian cancer silently progresses, often undiagnosed until its late stages, when survival rates plummet. This critical void in women's healthcare costs thousands of lives each year. Amy's Foundation is on a mission to change that, spearheading a relentless pursuit of groundbreaking research to develop the test that could catch ovarian cancer early and save countless lives.
FORT WAYNE, Ind., Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Amy's Foundation was inspired by the life and legacy of Amy Louise Daniels, who carried the BRCA-1 gene, significantly increasing her risk for ovarian and breast cancers. Despite the challenges, Amy's resilience and belief in the importance of early detection became the driving force behind the foundation's mission.
Partnering with Cleveland Clinic, a global leader in cancer research and patient care, Amy's Foundation is committed to fostering groundbreaking research efforts. By leveraging Cleveland Clinic's expertise, the foundation seeks to ensure that all contributions directly support the development of this lifesaving diagnostic tool.
Why This Matters:
- A Critical Need: Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until advanced stages due to the lack of an early detection test.
- A Proven Model: It took decades to develop tests like the Pap smear for cervical cancer; similar progress is urgently needed for ovarian cancer.
- Every Dollar Saves Lives: Donations, large or small, will fund ongoing research efforts aimed at reducing ovarian cancer mortality rates.
Amy's Foundation invites individuals, organizations, and communities to join this vital mission by donating, becoming monthly supporters, or spreading awareness about the cause. Together, we can change the future of ovarian cancer detection.
