Last night I
received a phone call from Dr. Saul Rivkin, the founder and animating spirit of
the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian
Cancer Research. It turns out that
Saul is temporarily inactive, due to some sort of leg injury - he can no longer
walk. I guess he treasures having me as
a friend because I am the only person yet alive who is older than him! As you probably know already, at one time I
did quite a bit of work with the Rivkin Center.
While I was there (Swedish Hospital in Seattle), Saul and I would get to
shooting the breeze – possibly somewhat loudly at times. The office staff had to run us off on a few
occasions, we were distracting them with our senior citizen chortles!
Over the
years, Saul – through his institute – has raised $15.6 million for ovarian
cancer research. He ranks high on my
list of heroes.
So, here is
the annual report of the Rivkin Center.
Glance through it.
