Ten years after founding The Julie Fund for Women's Cancers, President Peter McAvinn's resolve is stronger than ever. "We live in Boston, the city with the best medical care in the world, and Julie was completely unaware of the signs of cancer, particularly ovarian cancer." Julie McAvinn was just 40 years old and mother of three small children when she got her diagnosis. During treatment, she noticed so many patients didn't have the support that she did and she wanted to find a way for them to be supported, too. Together, she and Peter outlined an organization that fights women's cancers in three spaces: education, research and patient support. The mission of The Julie Fund for Women's Cancers has remained true for a decade – and its story is one of strength, hope, courage and selflessness.\\Founded: 2004 \\Headquarters: Wellesley, MA\\Corporate: non-profit 501(c)(3) organization\\Concept: Fight women's cancers in three spaces:\1.
