Walk in memory of my sister!
On April 5, 2006, my beautiful sister, at the age of 39 and with 2 young children, died of endometrial cancer.
Mifepristone is a drug that has proven results in treating this and other kinds of reproductive cancers. Unfortunately, politics has hijacked this important breakthrough in women’s health. Since mifepristone is also a drug that can be used to induce an abortion, this administration has weakened research and access to this drug–EVEN for cancer!
This is my reason for walking in the Feminist Majority Foundation’s walk for women’s lives on April 23rd? I’m going to volunteer! Wanna come and have fun volunteering for a cause and helping me to honor my sister?

The Walk will begin immediately following the rally at 9:30 AM .
The Walk for Women’s Lives is a 5K (3.2 miles) fun walk to support research and clinical trials on the use of mifepristone to treat progesterone-dependent uterine and ovarian cancers.
Progesterone-dependent cancers make up 40% of ovarian cancer, 85% of uterine cancer, and 60% of breast cancer!
For more than a decade, the Feminist Majority Foundation mifepristone compassionate use program has been encouraging and advocating for clinical trials using mifepristone, to treat many life-threatening illnesses which disproportionately affect women. In an historic breakthrough, the Feminist Majority Foundation will sponsor clinical trials for patients with progesterone-dependent uterine and ovarian cancers in 2006, but your help is needed.
