Be The Difference Foundation and Judy’s Mission to End Ovarian Cancer

Announce Wheel to Survive Houston Event

An Indoor Cycling Fundraiser to Benefit Ovarian Cancer Research

Houston, TX, July 11, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Join the battle and ride in the fight against ovarian cancer at
Wheel to Survive Houston presented by Be The Difference Foundation and Judy's Mission to End
Ovarian Cancer on Sunday, September 29, 2019, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Equinox River Oaks,
4444 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX 77027. Proceeds from the event will go toward funding awareness,
research and clinical trials in the fight against ovarian cancer.

Imagine a world without mothers, daughters, sisters and girlfriends. That is a world with ovarian cancer.
One woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer every 24 minutes. One woman dies from ovarian cancer
every 37 minutes. 70% of women diagnosed will die from the disease. Sadly, there is no routine, reliable
early detection test available for ovarian cancer today.

In most cases, ovarian cancer isn't diagnosed until it has progressed to an advanced stage. Typically, this
is because ovarian cancer symptoms either aren't apparent in the early stages of the disease or they mimic
common stomach and digestive issues such as general abdominal discomfort, bloating and/or a feeling of
fullness, even after a light meal, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss or gain, loss of appetite and
unusual fatigue, that are often mistaken for minor ailments.

Wheel to Survive, an inspirational relay style indoor cycling event, is a celebration of survivors, women
battling the disease and their families as well as a ride in memory of those who have lost their battle
against ovarian cancer. Dollars raised at Wheel to Survive will benefit programs for women currently
battling the disease and provide research dollars for a cure.

Since 2012, more than 1,000 participants in Wheel to Survive events around the country have raised more
than $3 million. Funds raised through Wheel to Survive benefit organizations working to end ovarian
cancer.

The Judith Liebenthal Robinson Ovarian Cancer Foundation, most commonly known as Judy's Mission to
End Ovarian Cancer, was founded in November of 2010 to honor Judith Liebenthal Robinson, Ph.D., a
NASA scientist, who despite habitual exercise, a consistently healthy diet and regular medical
examinations, was diagnosed with advanced stage ovarian cancer and died within a year. While battling
ovarian cancer, it was Judy's mission to raise awareness about the vague symptoms and ineffective
screening procedures associated with ovarian cancer. www.judysmission.org

Be The Difference Foundation was formed in 2012 by four ovarian cancer survivors who wanted to “be
the difference” in the fight against ovarian cancer by helping women increase their chances of survival.
