History

Swedish SummeRun was begun in 1993 by Saul Rivkin and his five daughters, with the help and support of Swedish Medical Center, in memory of Marsha Rivkin and in recognition of the ongoing fight against this deadly disease. Since 1993, Swedish SummeRun has raised over $1.9 million towards ovarian cancer research.

Money raised from SummeRun will help the Marsha Rivkin Center in its mission to save lives and reduce suffering through improved treatment, early detection, and prevention of ovarian cancer. Funds raised through Swedish SummeRun will fund pilot studies, education efforts, and screen women as part of scientific research studies.
