Susan Sandoval Run for Ovarian Cancer

This year will be the 4th annual "RUN FOR HER LIFE: SUSAN SANDOVAL RUN FOR OVARIAN CANCER", and will be held on Saturday, September 11th, 2010 at Sugarhouse Park.

The Susan Sandoval Cancer Fund was created to increase awareness of the signs, symptoms and risk factors for ovarian cancer as well as other gynecologic cancers (uterine, cervix, vulvar, vaginal and fallopian tube). The goals are to educate and improve the care of women diagnosed with gynecologic cancers and focus on innovative research in this field. Susan Sandoval was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer in May 2005 and died May 2007, at the age of 53. She worked as a nurse at LDS and Primary Children’s hospitals for 21 years. She had many friends, talked passionately about patient care and rights, and had incredible strength within her to always look at the positive in life and make the best of every day.
