Below is about a project my Aunt Carolyn has started to raise money for ovarian cancer research. This is a very personal and important cause and any donation is appreciated. For further information or how to send donations, contact me at jbkish at gmail.com.
The journey to defeat ovarian cancer starts with a penny.
Dear Family and Friends,
Ovarian cancer is known as the silent killer, detection comes late and treatment is limited. Less than 50% of its victims survive five years. Regrettably the survival rate has improved only 8% since 1975. I am one of the fortunate women. With the best available medical care, lots of love from family and friends, and many prayers, I have been living with this disease for 6 years.
Now I want to help others. My project is called Carolyn’s Pennies and the goal is to raise 1 million pennies. To raise additional funds I will be selling # 2 pencils. Throughout the years my Mom always included a # 2 pencil in care packages to her grandsons. Upon her death Erik wrote and read a poem called, Pearl’s Pencils. Selling #2 teal colored pencils gives me the opportunity to honor my mother and to help women with ovarian cancer. All funds raised will go to ovarian cancer research
I am excited about this project and need your help. Please help me reach my goal by sending your pennies, or checks made out to Carolyn’s Pennies. You may order pencils, 1 for 100 pennies ($1.00) and/or send donations.

Please help spread the word, together we can fight this disease.
Thank you for your help.
