Help Fund Life-Saving Research for my Mom with Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

My mom, Liza, was recently diagnosed with Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (LGSOC), a rare and underfunded type of cancer that affects only a small percentage of women. This diagnosis has turned our family's world upside down, but if there's one thing that hasn't changed, it's my mom's incredible strength and positive spirit.


Liza is more than just a patient—she's a devoted wife, a loving mother to me and my sister, and a caring soul who has spent her life helping others. She works at a children’s hospital, where she brings comfort and joy to kids who are going through their own health battles. Her love for flowers and trees reflects her gentle, nurturing nature, and she’s always been our family's ray of sunshine, putting our needs before her own and spreading warmth to everyone she meets.


LGSOC is challenging because it grows slowly and in turn can be resistant to traditional chemotherapy. Unfortunately, because it’s so rare, it doesn’t receive the same level of attention or funding as other more common cancers. This means that research into better treatments—and ultimately, a cure—is urgently needed.


That’s why we’re raising money for STAAR Ovarian Cancer Foundation, an organization dedicated to funding life-saving research for this specific type of cancer. Your donation will directly support efforts to understand this rare disease better, develop new and more effective treatments, and give patients like my mom hope for a brighter future.


By contributing to this fundraiser, you’re not just helping my mom—you’re helping all women who are facing this difficult diagnosis. Your support can make a real difference in the fight against low-grade serous ovarian cancer, bringing us one step closer to breakthroughs that could save lives.


Please join us in this important cause. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to finding better treatments and giving my mom, and others like her, the chance to enjoy many more years with their loved ones.

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!
