Ovarian Awareness of Kentucky

OAK is such an important part of the community, helping to educate women about signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, as well as supporting survivors and their families. We also provide important perspective to medical students through an innovative program called Survivors Teaching Students. Providing funding towards research around early detection is also part of our mission. I’m proud to be a part of this special group������

OAK has reached thousands of lives over the years and given comfort about this silent cancer. OAK has touched me personally and because of that they have a supporter for life. Please help OAK continue its mission to educate, provide resources and comfort to those affected by ovarian cancer.

The staff and board members do a wonderful job of supporting the gyn cancer survivors and their families. I appreciate everyones efforts in reaching the women of Kentucky. Raising awareness is key to the mission statement of OAK.

I participated in the Whisper Walk fundraising event this year. It was fun, inspiring and professionally done!

The Whisper Walk was a fun, fundraising event for my family in support of a family member battling this awful disease. Ovarian Awareness of Kentucky has a great mission.

OAK is full of the most amazing women! Support, encouragement, and love is felt by every member of this organization the minute they join. We will find a cure for cancer! I am proud to say I am apart of this team!

This organization helps spread awareness for ovarian and gynecologic cancers. There is no test for ovarian cancer, therefore most women catch it in its late stage where the survival rate is lower. This organization is trying to save lives by educating women to identify ovarian cancer and catch it in its early stage where there is a higher percent of survival. They help save lives.

This organization has provided a wealth of information and comfort to my daughter during her diagnosis and treatment for ovarian cancer. Our family has been so thankful for this resource in a troubling time.

My daughter has ovarian cancer. She joined this organization after realizing the benefits they offered for women with this life ending disease.
They are a multi purpose organization.
First, they support the patient through their trying time of chemotherapy, through education and group meetings that encourage the individual to be aggressive in the fight to survive.
Two, the organization works with the medical community to bring awareness to the importance of early detection of ovarian cancer. This is critical in helping women live longer which gives them hope for their future.

This organization has been a great support to me throughout my battle with ovarian cancer. I have gotten so much support and have learned a great deal from their educational workshops. I’m so grateful for all they do!

My late mother Judy Morris teamed up with Jill Doimer to start this support group for women suffering from ovarian cancer. OAK has helped so many women and their families as they navigate through extremely trying times. My mother would be so proud of the difference this group and these women have made in so many lives. Her legacy lives on!

I began my journey with OAK in 2003 with my moms diagnosis. She and I attended survivor and caregiver support groups, volunteered as well. I continue my relationship with OAK even after my mom passed. The education OAK provides is the best and always working to reach the community. Awareness is the best until a test!!

They support local women Who are battling ovarian cancer. They provide educational, emotional and other support.

OAK is an incredible organization. It not only provides support for those whose lives are closely linked to ovarian cancer but reaches out far beyond that to provide learning opportunities for those in health care and the community at large. They are a small but highly motivated group.

This charity truly cares about their missions and goals. These people make you feel like family.

I am an ovarian cancer patient since 2001. In 2006 I began regularly attending the survivors monthly meetings. I feel this group has saved my life! From the information shared at these meetings, I have made good decisions relative to my care and progress with this disease. There is no topic to big or to small to be shared. We are all LIVING with our cancer, and most of us are LIVING WELL thanks to this group.
