I have
written previously of OCRA, the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance. OCRA operates much like the Marsha Rivkin
Foundation, about which I have blogged numerous times; it raises and distributes
funds for OVCA research, as well as disseminating useful information about the
disease. Thus, contributions to OVCA are
well spent. I prefer to, in a sense, cut
out the middle man; I contribute directly to Fred Hutch’s ovarian cancer
program, using Linda’s web site, which is:

OCRA also
publishes some off-beat interesting stuff.
One of their recent news letters features interviews with some of the young
research scientists they are supporting. For insight into what motivates these bright
young people, and a short course on what each is trying to do, click
below. I did, and I found it interesting,
as well as more than a little encouraging.
