Eradicating the Silent Killer: Ovarian Cancer

Online, September 3, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Soule International Restaurant is proud to join Janice's Ladies, a team in the Long Island Chapter of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, in the fight to eradicate the Silent Killer, Ovarian Cancer. Ovarian Cancer occurs in 1 in 57 women, and kills more women than all the other gynecological cancers combined. More than 25,500 women will be diagnosed this year alone, with fatalities occurring in over 14,500. Screening for this type of cancer is not routine, and consequently, many are not diagnosed until stage 3 or 4, when treatment is too late.

Janice's Ladies is named for Janice Darby Havercombe, who succumbed to Ovarian Cancer in April of 1997, only nine months after her diagnosis.

The 2009 Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer will take place on September 26th at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, New York. Details on this year's walk is available at http://nocc.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp, where you have the option to join Janice's Ladies and walk, or donate at your convenience.

All contributors who donate a minimum of $20 at Soule will receive 10% off their order. Soule is located at 920 Fulton Street, between Washington and St. James in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn.
