Mission

Teal's Real mission is to educate communities, spread awareness about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, and empower women to take charge of their health. Until there is a reliable diagnostic test to detect for ovarian cancer in the early stages, it is vital that we continue to spread awareness to increase the odds of survival against this "silent killer".

Teal's Real's founder, Vicky Michelis, is an ovarian cancer survivor. Vicky spent more than 25 years working in high tech in the Silicon Valley and Sacramento areas. She started Teal's Real when she realized how little she and those around her knew about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. Vicky is passionate about increasing ovarian cancer awareness to increase the number of cases detected at the earliest possible and most treatable stage.
