Clearing a path to a cure for ovarian cancer is possible because of people like you. The patients who received tumor "blueprints" at no cost to them can't thank you enough for what you did this year. Your vision provided ovarian cancer patients with the opportunity to match their cancer to rationale treatment choices rather than the trial-and-error approach that is utilized today. This was no baby step but a series of purposeful strides to find better treatment options for each patient on an individualized basis.
"If we build it, they will come," is not a metaphor but a reality. With your help, we built it (the ovarian blueprint capability) and more will come (patients and doctors). In 2010, we expect a large inflow of patients as we build our awareness campaigns.
Personally, I find it unacceptable that less than 15% of recurrent ovarian cancer patients will be cured with additional treatment; less than 3% if they did not respond to the standard chemotherapy. The Clearity Foundation needs your help to ensure that we have the funding to provide the profiles and the additional patient support as the medical community becomes more aware of our service.
Introducing our 2010 campaign
$2,010 will pay for blueprints for two patients in 2010. Contribute $20.10 each month for ten months to support two patients and start clearing a path now to receive 2009 tax deductions. One time contributions of $20.10 are strongly encouraged or any multiple of ten ($201.00, $2010, $20,100, etc) for individuals, groups, and sponsors are welcome.
All contributions are tax deductible.
Below is what you helped accomplish by supporting the Clearity Foundation in 2009!
