Episode 8 – “I had a tumor of the size of a tissue box” –Bonnie Morgan and Alana Walsh-Giovannini tell us about ovarian cancer and Belles with Balls

We are pleased to air our latest podcast today!

In this episode, we talked with Bonnie Morgan and Alana Walsh-Giovannini.

Together we talked about ovarian cancer, lived experience, messages of hope, the charity organization they have founded (Belles with Balls), and most importantly how a dedicated team of 8 women have raised more than half a million dollar to support ovarian cancer education and research in Newfoundland and Labrador!!

We thank every volunteer and donor who are working towards a better future for women.
