Ovarian Cancer Alliance- Open Letter to your Senator

Hi Everybody,

The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is trying to encourage our government officials to take Ovarian Cancer seriously.  Please read the message below and encourage our elected officials to take action!

 

Help us take a message about ovarian cancer to the halls of Congress!

 

Dear friend:    There is no known cause of ovarian cancer and no reliable early detection test.   Today a group of advocates will meet with their elected officials in the House of Representatives and the Senate to discuss issues important to the ovarian cancer community. If you aren't on the Hill with us in person, join us virtually and stand up for ovarian cancer survivors in your community. We need your voice to ensure that Congress makes progress addressing the needs of our community--your elected officials need to hear from you! Taking action is easy and only takes one minute!   For the 22,000 women who will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2013--and 183,000 women living with the disease--please join us in asking our elected officials to: Recognize September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month Support appropriations of $20 million for the Ovarian Cancer Research Program in Fiscal Year 2014 Co-Sponsor the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act (HR 1801) or become a sponsor of the Senate bill when introduced It is as easy as sending an email!   Click the Take Action button to send an e-mail to your elected officials today. Please remember to take action on both alerts at the link--we have separate messages to send to your representative and senators!
