In May of 2009 we were given the devasating news that our seemingly strong, healthy 25-year-old daughter/sister had small cell ovarian cancer, hypercalcemic type.  As we scrambled to find out about this disease, we quickly realized very little information existed.  Eventually we found a supportive team of doctors who had limited knowledge of small cell ovarian cancer.  However, we lost Stephanie on June 27th, 2010.  In her memory, we have created the Small Cell Ovarian Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organizaton.  Our mission is to raise awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer, make information about small cell ovarian cancer more readily available to patients and their families and to fund research into this dreadful disease.       - Ron, Maren & Greg Petersen
