CELEBRATING LIFE 2016

Every year DOC IT Foundation hosts a hip swaying event in honor of DOC IT's co-founder Martha Casado. Unfortunately, Martha passsed away from stage 4 Ovarian Cancer in late 2008....but not before passing on the torch that would keep her dream alive to her sister Susie Casado. What was Martha's dream? To #DOCIT - Detect Ovarian Cancer In Time. Martha would bring the party wherever she went, her smile was confetti and and her joyous laughter was the music. To honor Martha's memory we have made a decision to use that same enthusiasm, passion & celebratory spirit in our fight against Ovarian Cancer.

Proceeds from the 6th Annual CELEBRATING LIFE Fundraising event will benefit DOC IT and their mission to support promising Ovarian Cancer research. One such research is the joint effort between the FIU - Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine + the FIU College of Engineering and Computing. Through passionate collaboration they have created a revolutionary way to treat ovarian cancer - using nanotechnology to attack only cancer cells, limiting the effects of Chemo on the rest of the body.

This ground-breaking treatment increases quality of life, it spares the rest of the body from harmful chemo side effects and increases effectivity because the drug is not being diluted throughout the body before reaching it's target destination. Once approved for clinical trials, this treatment can be used towards fighting other cancers not just Ovarian Cancer! Which is another reason we need to come together and support.

To the warriors who are battling cancer, you are not alone and we want to take a moment to celebrate your life with you. To the ones who have lost a loved one to cancer - they may be gone but they are not forgotten, let us celebrate their life, their fight and their legacy together. To the warriors who fought cancer and came out of the fire as champions, this is the day we celebrate you. Do you have a friend or loved one that is currently fighting cancer? Bring them! The more warriors, survivors & friends the better. This is going to be a night of dancing & laughter as we TOAST TO LIFE, so bring your dancing shoes and don't forget to wear white in honor of those we have lost along the way.
