With a scholarship from MIOCA, Meagan Zoodsma was one of 9 MIOCA representatives who traveled to Washing- ton, D.C. in March 2018 to advocate for improved access to care and funding for ovarian cancer research. Meagan was only 9 years old when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was told she had seven days to live. Following chemotherapy, a hysterectomy, and removal of an ovary, she amazingly recovered and lived a normal childhood. Years later, while struggling to start a family, MIOCA’s Survi- vor-to-Survivor support program connected Meagan with an- other survivor who shared her own uplifting story of becoming a mother. And in early 2019, Megan and her husband wel- comed their first child, Peter! RESEARCH Through the Geri Fournier Ovarian Cancer Research Awards, $150,000 was granted to three talented researchers in Michigan working to improve treatment outcomes and early detection. For the fourth year, research money raised in Michigan stayed in Michigan!
