2009 OAK Holiday Party View the 2008 "Survivor's Gone Wild" Toast to Life Award Recipients Video
2009 Blue Hydrangea Progressive Tea Party Sunday, April 19th weather wise was gloomy. But in LaGrange, sunshine of a different sort was in plentiful supply. For the second year, the Blue Hydrangea Progressive Tea Party took place in the shops of Main St. Over 440 people attended this year, a substantial increase from just over 200 the year before. This last Monday, a check for $5292.41 was presented by members of Cindy Adams’ family (Cindy passed away 3/31/09) to survivors in OAK (Ovarian Awareness of Kentucky.) It was a special event where each participant selected a teacup and saucer (as a keepsake); went store to store with the cup sampling teas and treats; and enjoyed all the unique atmosphere and hospitality that Main Street merchants could provide. “It was an honor to organize this event” said daughter-in-law Lisa Adams, “as bittersweet as it was, it is a celebration of her idea and memory.” In 2010, we hope for even bigger numbers and are already sorting through ideas for next year’s event. Here is our link to fundraising for the race if anyone is running the race and wishing to fundraise for OAK: http://www.active.com/donate/ovarianawarenessofky

O.A.K. is requesting that you send us your survivorship story. We want to put your stories up on our website to share with women around the state of Kentucky and in southern Indiana to offer them hope and support. By submitting your e-mailed or hand written story to O.A.K., you are permitting us to place it on our website. We will take stories anytime.
Send your story to: INFO@OVARIANAWARENESSOFKY.ORG or mail
to: Submit with your story: First name, last name (optional), city, state, age at diagnosis and the year, type of GYN cancer, and stage. We have OAK members who are willing to talk and share their stories and experiences with other survivors. If you call our office at 502-708-1625 we can introduce you to another survivor of a similar age and/or stage. We also provide assistance to family members – husbands/partners who would like to talk to others in the same situation and daughters or sisters who are providing care for a loved one and would like support. Some women like to attend the OAK meetings to socialize with other survivors and learn about treatment options available. Others would prefer to meet another survivor for coffee. We want to meet the needs of our members – please let us know what OAK can do for you and how you want to connect with us. Providing support to women with ovarian cancer and their families is an important part of our mission and we need your help to successfully achieve this.
