Love the Snatch sells branded apparel with proceeds going to fund research and raise awareness for cervical cancer.
In 2009, Love the Snatch (c) co-founder, Ashlee, found herself undergoing chemotherapy and radiation for cervical Cancer. In 2013 her cousin, Jen, was diagnosed with the same disease. Faced with this unlikely shared experience, the cousins felt compelled to promote awareness and research for cervical cancer, and Love the Snatch was born. With Jen's background in CrossFit and Weightlifting, our log
o features Jen's silhouette, performing an olympic lift called the "snatch", over the teal ribbon representing cervical and ovarian cancers. Our charities of choice include ones funding research and awareness not only for the treatment of cervical cancers, but also for their prevention and early detection. Proceeds from apparel sales will be donated to various charities including the ones below:
Jen’s charity of choice:
In August 2013, I was diagnosed with Small Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix (SCCC). It is aggressive and rare; so rare that it gets no funding, and when it does, it’s difficult to find participants. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer center has started a research fund, and is creating an online global database of SCCC patients and their treatments and outcomes to improve the treatment of all future SCCC patients. Ashlee’s Charity of choice:
In February 2009, I was diagnosed with the most common type of Cervical Cancer: Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). I had a 5.3 X 4.4 cm tumor (roughly 45% bigger than the cervix itself!), with suspiciously large lymph nodes nearby and possible metastasis to the upper vagina. I credit my first post-treatment CT Scan results (Excellent² - they actually used the word excellent twice!) to the combined efforts of conventional treatments and naturopathic treatments; naturopathic treatments are not covered by OHIP and are minimally covered by health insurance. The Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre (OICC) is the first integrative cancer care and research centre of its kind in Eastern Canada: through its clinical, research and educational goals, it strives to assess and reduce the possible causes of cancer while exploring innovative integrative treatment approaches.
