The Canadian ReDesigners Association has partnered with Ovarian Cancer Canada (OCC), to ensure that women currently in treatment for ovarian cancer have a comfortable and harmonious room in their home in which to focus on wellness and recovery. ReDesigners across Canada are volunteering their time, talents and skills to create such “Havens”. Together we can raise awareness of the disease that has whispered for far too long.

If you are, or know of, a woman undergoing treatment, email havens@CRDAredesignstaging.com. for more details.
