Survivor and research advocate Susun Livingston speaks on the importance of using your power within to fuel ovarian cancer research funding:

"Government funding for ovarian cancer research has not kept up with inflation... we are funding less biomedical research than we did in 2005. As a research advocate, maybe I can add some fuel to the fire."

With recent research funding cuts, these words have never been truer. Join us at this year's Power Within Auction on Saturday, September 26 to raise desperately needed funding for ovarian cancer research! Grab your ticket today using the Power Within Auction link in our Linktree or the link below:

We're so delighted to be able to spotlight two of the next set of advocates attending ovarian cancer research advocacy events through the Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation!

In October 2026, Megan Yoo Schneider and Stefanie Lowe will attend the Department of Defense Ovarian Cancer Academy Annual Retreat and OCRA/Rivkin Symposium.

Megan Yoo Schneider was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer at age 34, which profoundly shaped how she understands survivorship, self-advocacy, fertility after cancer, and the gaps many patients face when navigating complex care. Since then, she has used her story to raise awareness, support other cancer survivors, and advocate for better education, earlier detection, and more compassionate, whole-person care. Outside of her ovarian cancer advocacy, Megan is a business strategy and leadership consultant, executive coach, and elected water district board member committed to helping people and organizations navigate change, build community, and lead with purpose.

Stefanie Lowe is an OCRA research advocate for Vermont. At Massachusetts General Hospital, she was diagnosed with Stage 3c high grade serous carcinoma in 2024 after gaining 16 pounds of ascites. Subsequent to her debulking surgery and two cycles of chemo, she experienced an incisional hernia, and underwent further open surgery and then a third cycle of chemo. She is currently 'NED', and considered to be in 'surveillance mode', having recently completed twenty-two maintenance infusions of avastin. Previously, she earned a PhD in Psycholinguistics, and spent much of her career as a Literacy Specialist in a middle school. She now teaches yoga and strength classes at the YMCA.

We can't wait to hear all about your experiences next month!
