B.E.A.T. With Beads

I got involved in the critical need to raise money and awareness for Ovarian Cancer in 2021 when my partner's sister, Lexi, was diagnosed with Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer at twenty-seven years old. Like so many others, Lexi lost precious time between seeking help for her symptoms and a correct diagnosis. Unfortunately, this is only too common since L.G.S.O.C. is incredibly difficult to screen for. That’s where the concept B.E.A.T. With Beads arose. B.E.A.T. is a commonly used acronym within the Ovarian Cancer space that stands for four signs of ovarian cancer: Bloating, Eating difficulty, Abdominal pain, and Toilet changes. B.E.A.T. With Beads is a fundraiser dedicated to selling various beaded products that all genders and ages can enjoy, including beaded bracelets and hair accessories. We hope to raise money to search for a cure and raise awareness so that women can get the time-critical diagnosis needed to give them the best chance at survival.

STAAR exists to fund life-saving research for women with low-grade serous, a rare and severely underfunded ovarian cancer subtype.  Low-grade serous represents fewer than 8% of cases of ovarian cancer and disproportionately affects younger women.  Further, being a rare cancer means that private donations are critical to fund research.  More research means more time for adventures, more holidays, and more memory making!
