Vicky's Story

When VJ was diagnosed with ovarian cancer six years ago, her prognosis was pretty bleak. But VJ, being VJ, didn’t take it lying down. She took on her disease with the same intelligence, passion, boundless energy and humour as she did everything in life. 

When her first round of operations and chemo didn’t work, she scoured the planet for new trials and treatments, eventually going to Switzerland for experimental immunotherapy treatment in 2016. That treatment gave her three years of good health. 

She didn’t waste it. In those three years she climbed sand dunes in Namibia, joined evening prayers in Varanasi, partied under a full moon in Tulum, visited friends in New Zealand, San Fran, Moscow and Spain and attended six wedding and numerous milestone birthdays and
celebrations with family and friends.

When the disease returned, she made it her mission to change the survival odds for the next generation. This was typical VJ, selflessly making something good out of a tragic situation. So please, give what you can in her memory.
