Corinne Feller was a scholar athlete who resided in Montgomery, New York her whole life. Corinne battled ovarian cancer for 10 months before succumbing to the disease at the young age of 18 in 1999. Her legacy of generosity, fairness, and social consciousness is the basis of The Corinne Feller Memorial Fund’s mission. Visit The Corinne Feller Memorial Fund to read more about Corinne’s legacy.
Nicole Feller Lee, Founder of The Corinne Feller Memorial Fund and sister of Corinne, explains, “Corinne stressed the importance of awareness.” As part of the outreach efforts for awareness, she founded the Cancer Awareness Survivors Team (CAST).
As she explains, “Learning the symptoms of ovarian cancer is vital because early diagnosis greatly increases chances for survival. Currently, almost 70 percent of ovarian cancer patients aren’t diagnosed until the disease is in its advanced stages. Each year, 27 thousand new cases of ovarian cancer are discovered, and more than 14 thousand women die of the disease. There is currently no effective screening tool for ovarian cancer, making awareness critically important.” Read more about CAST here and please show your support by checking out their table at the
