At 35, Sherry Pollex heard the words “ovarian cancer,” and it changed her life forever. She was diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer and doctors estimated that her chance of survival was less than 30% within 5 years.
Sherry and her long-time partner, NASCAR champion Martin Truex, Jr. established the MTJ Foundation in 2007 originally to focus on pediatric cancer. Following Sherry’s diagnosis, they also established SherryStrong to raise awareness, boost advocacy and generate financial support for ovarian cancer.
In November 2020, the SherryStrong Integrative Medicine Oncology Clinic opened within Novant Health’s new Weisiger Cancer Institute in Charlotte. This holistic center addresses the physical, emotional, spiritual and environmental needs of cancer patients to promote health and wellness. It provides integrative therapies such as oncology massage, acupuncture, meditation, yoga, and nutritional counseling that work in conjunction with the patients’ traditional care programs. These services will be offered to Novant patients regardless of their ability to pay.
Join us in helping those fighting feel strong, feel beautiful, feel healthy and survive ovarian cancer with grace.
