To the editor:

September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is one I pay attention to because ovarian cancer has affected my life. [Write a few sentences about your connection to the issue.]

Every woman is at risk of developing ovarian cancer, and because there is no early detection test, many women are diagnosed when the disease is in an advanced stage. However, there are symptoms associated with this disease, as well as factors that can increase or decrease a woman’s risk. I hope every woman will take a few minutes to educate herself about ovarian cancer this September. One excellent resource is ovariancancer.org.

Sincerely yours,
