Instructions for Sandy Sprint Registration
The Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit, 501c3 organization created as a tribute to the life, character, and immense strength of Sandy Rollman. Sandy passed away from advanced ovarian cancer in May 2000. Prior to diagnosis, Sandy experienced many textbook symptoms. Her symptoms were whispering only no one was listening. The tragic result was that Sandy never had a chance against ovarian cancer.
Her sister Adriana Way and her nurse Robin Cohen decided to keep Sandy’s memory alive while trying to prevent other women from having to endure the same pain as she did. The Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation unites with the Community to: – Educate both women and physicians about ovarian cancer – Advocate for early diagnostic testing and more effective treatments – Raise funds to advance research towards a cure – Offer support to ovarian cancer patients and their families.
