Someone lived to start The Clearity Foundation, a nonprofit advocate for women fighting ovarian cancer. The June 14 event is an evening to celebrate survival, hope and progress in changing the odds for women with the disease. The event featured music in the gardens, wine, hors d’oeuvres and dessert.
Dr. Laura Shawver, founder of The Clearity Foundation, was honored for establishing the organization to help other woman with ovarian cancer access personalized medicine technologies to find the best treatment options for their cancer.
Julie Crawford was introduced to The Clearity Foundation when her husband John worked with Laura Shawver five years ago. When Julie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in February 2012, she underwent extensive surgery and months of chemotherapy, and feels blessed that she is free of cancer today.
