Community Service Involvement

I am involved in both the local and national chapters of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. In addition to organizing the annual charity walk, I have served as a speaker and share my experiences with this disease with others who may be in similar situation within own family. I am also involved every year with fundraising and volunteering with the Des Moines Race for the Cure.
