Following the death of her mother from ovarian cancer Karen decided something had to be done.

She set up a support group in Australia and her path in cancer research and support had begun. 

Then suddenly tragedy struck again, this time it was her husband and farther to her two children. He had months to live.

But Karen still didn't give up her fight. 

She works tirelessly supporting cancer research to this day and is now looking towards prevention. She has a wealth of knowledge of female cancers and even some tips on prevention. 

Its people like Karen that make us all a bit safer in this ongoing battle.
