More Than a Patient: How Holly Folgia Turned Her Cancer Journey Into Impact

Holly’s journey with stage IV ovarian cancer is one of resilience, creativity, and generosity. As a participant in a Break Through Cancer-funded clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Cancer Center, she is a part of the Targeting Minimal Residual Disease in Ovarian Cancer TeamLab’s work to bring new treatment options to patients facing one of the deadliest cancers for women.
While undergoing treatment, Holly published a children’s book, I Hope You Know, a heartfelt story about the bond between mother and child. She is donating half of the proceeds to ovarian and fallopian tube cancer research and has included a QR code in the book to encourage readers to support Break Through Cancer directly.
