The Foundation recently received an email from OCNA (Ovarian Cancer National Alliance) regarding the effects of "sequestration" that will take place shortly in Washington D.C. as a result of efforts (or lack of efforts) to balance the national budget. The effects can be devestating on medical research, as noted in the linked article, please consider reaching out to your elected representatives urging them not to cut important medical research funding such as cancer researching funding, specifically for ovarian cancer.
The attached link contains an interesting article from the Washington Post about the effect of sequestration – or across-the-board-spending-cuts. It’s a pretty good overview of what we can expect if Congress doesn’t act now.
