Marsha Rivkin
1943-1993
  
When Marsha Rivkin passed away in 1993 from ovarian cancer, her family was determined to turn their grief into something positive. While Dr. Saul Rivkin, an oncologist at Swedish Medical Center, laid the groundwork for the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research, his five daughters went to work organizing the Swedish SummeRun.

The Center's mission is to save lives and reduce suffering through improved treatment, early detection, and prevention of ovarian cancer.
