Salt Lake City, UT – March 15, 2015 – Mary Hart is the proud daughter of Cynthia and Jimmy Hart. Her Dad passed away October 6, 2014 from ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease.) During this time, Mary’s mom got the help she needed through sobriety so she could be there for her husband and family.

Mary was her father's power of attorney and primary caregiver, but couldn't have done it without the help of her mother. Without her, the death of her father and the recovery process would have been unfathomable.
Mary and her mother have been through a lot this past year. Mary’s mother is the strongest woman she has ever met, she’s her everything; her hero, and is the one keeping her going and giving her strength and hope. Three months after the love of her life passed, Cynthia was sadly diagnosed with Stage 3C Ovarian cancer. She successfully had the debulking surgery done, and is now living with Mary in Salt Lake City while completing 6 cycles of 2 different types a chemo; paclitaxel, and carboplatin (chemo every week, 1 cycle=3 weeks). After the 6 cycles of chemo, Mary would like her mom to go to a medical facility outside the U.S. that will be able to help her maintain remission and prevent the cancer from coming back. U.S. statistic for women with ovarian cancer stage 3C, is that 1 out of 6 women live 5 years. I cannot settle for that.


The first step to furthering treatment is to investigate the cause which they have raised enough money for. The doctor whom Mary has spoken with (outside of the U.S.) traveling to Utah this month to collect samples which will then be sent to various countries. Once they're able to know what caused her mother's ovarian cancer, they'll be able to come up with a specific treatment plan after finishing chemo. The treatment cost is unknown until they find the cause, but she has been told treatment could cost between $10,000-$20,000, not including travel fees. Mary changed the goal amount to $25,000 hoping they can raise enough to find out the cause and the rest to cover all of her of her treatment and plane tickets. And GoFundMe and WePay takes out a nice percentage out of each donation. Once they figure out the cause Mary will change the goal amount to the treatment amount + the fundraising fees for this website.
Please help Mary’s mom get the chance to live and grow old. Please help give her mom the time to fulfill her life. She understands everyone has their own problems, but any type of help would be greatly appreciated..
