Ribbons to Remember

We would like to share with you a program Diane Riche, the President and Founder of Ribbons to Remember, has started. Diane's story is remarkable. After losing her mother only 5 weeks after her initial diagnosis, Diane dedicated herself to raising ovarian cancer awareness and education. Her commitment and dedication to this goal has been unwavering, and her accomplishments in the past two years have been an inspiration to everyone who has been touched by this disease. Ribbons to Remember has partnered with the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance in an effort to reach out to professional health students and educate them from the point of view of ovarian cancer survivors. We encourage you to to stop by the Ribbons to Remember website and/or contribute your story to the project below.

Are you an ovarian cancer survivor in the New England area?

Would you like to share your story to increase health professional students’ awareness about ovarian cancer symptoms and risk factors?

If so, become part of an innovative program called Survivors Teaching Students: Saving Women’s Lives^®, sponsored by the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.

This program helps health professional students understand firsthand about ovarian cancer symptoms and risk factors so that these future physicians, nurses and physician assistants diagnose and detect the disease sooner. Survivors Teaching Students: Saving Women’s Lives brings ovarian cancer survivors into the classrooms to share their stories and key information on the disease.

As a survivor presenter, you will be trained on how to share your story with the students. 

This is a critical opportunity to teach future medical professionals about the importance of detecting and diagnosing ovarian cancer. You will join hundreds of other women who speak to medical, nursing and physician assistant students throughout the United States. Like them, you may find that sharing your story not only makes an impact on other women’s lives, but is an incredibly rewarding experience for you.

If you are interested in participating in the training or learning more about the Survivors Teaching Students program, please contact Diane Riche at diane@RibbonsToRemember.org or call 508-827-1212.
