A 32 song double CD compilation, volume 1 in a long running CD series that will benefit the Virginia J. Frank Ovarian Cancer Foundation, that we hope will entertain as well as inform you.

Ovarian Cancer is a “silent killer”.

Once you feel the symptoms, it’s too late.

My Mother was diagnosed with the disease on December 7, 2006.

She had the surgery that removed 99% of the cancer on December 8.

She took her first dose of chemotherapy on January 9.

The chemotherapy broke her down and ultimately caused her kidneys to fail.

She passed away on Friday morning, March 2, 2007.

She was only 60 years old.

Though the cancer did come back, we believe it was the chemotherapy that helped take my Mother’s life.

The proceeds of this CD go to battle Ovarian Cancer in every way.

WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND YOU CAN HELP

•According to the American Cancer Society: Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common cancer in women (not counting skin cancer). It ranks fifth as the cause of cancer death in women. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 22,430 new cases of ovarian cancer in this country in 2007. About 15,280 women will die this year because of the disease. Around two-thirds of women with ovarian cancer are 55 or older, but it’s not unknown in women younger.

•A woman’s risk of getting ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 1 in 67. The risk of getting this cancer and dying from it is 1 in 95.

The purpose of this foundation is three-fold.

First, to make women of all ages aware of Ovarian Cancer.

Second, to find an alternate method of treatment to radiation and chemotherapy.

Finally to find a cure.

By being involved in this project, be it in the funding, the release, the promotion or the buying, you will have been a part of a process that may improve the quality of lives and eventually actually save lives.

AT THE SAME TIME AS ENJOYING CONTEMPORARY MUSIC, TOGETHER WE CAN SAVE WOMEN’S LIVES

Why have artists have contributed…

Cancer has taught me to be grateful for every day of life. My father died from cancer at the young age of 62. I wrote about it in a piece entitled : “His Last Words”. It came out on the album I did with the band Neurosis. I described the empty blue eyes of someone who intentionally abused substances to take themselves into a state of oblivion stupor and compared those eyes to the childlike staring eyes of my father who was someone who had no choice but to enter that horrifying state of bewilderment when cancer left him with the words he strained to utter in my ear : “Burnin’ burnin’ burnin’…" as they wheeled him out of surgery” - JARBOE

“My Grandfather died of cancer and I never had the chance to meet him. My Grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago, and thankfully it’s in remission. My Aunt Diane is still fighting for her life and her body can't take any more chemo. It’s painful to know that she’s suffering every day and that she will not be able to attend my June wedding. Honoring those we love is so important and this CD is a beautiful , bittersweet way of doing that” - DARA ROSENWASSER of Faith & Disease

“ I know a vibrant 37 year old woman diagnosed last year. Ravaged by chemotherapy she could take no more and won’t be with us and by the time you read this. Her husband, her soulmate, is already devastated. If as a result of projects like this there’ll be less devastation in future, it will have done its job ” - JULIANNE REGAN

“I'm contributing because a very close friend of mine has breast cancer and is in remission at the moment, (for over 1 year so far), after struggling with stage 4 metastasized cancer. Intense and a long haul and I've been supporting her as a friend the entire way. it's personal to me. - LISA DEWEY

Greg and I wanted to participate as cancer also hit our family. I lost my mother to breast cancer 13 years ago and music has been one of the things that has helped me heal. Music can be such a positive force especially when it is used to raise awareness and celebrate the wonderful memories of our loved ones. Our track Shimmering is written about how love never dies even when a loved one is lost. – Greg of MAPLE STREET

Cancer has been omnipresent in the past 50 years of my life and consequently has had a profound affect on me. My first experience with it was when I was 7 years old. A girl in my class at school was intermittently absent and then just never came back. We were told she had died from cancer. I've never forgotten her name or her beautiful dark waist-length hair, or indeed her heart broken father who used to watch the children passing his home on their way to and from school. Since then I've lost members of my close family, extended family and close friends to the many forms of the disease. Thankfully I can also say that I have close family and friends who have survived cancer thanks to new treatments. -COSEY. F. TUTTI
