Team MB Hunt for the Cure is a nonprofit created in memory of Maribeth Tobolski who was diagnosed with and bravely fought ovarian cancer. Maribeth was a nurse by profession. She was passionate about helping people. She wanted nothing more than to educate about her disease to prevent others from going through what she did.

An estimated 1 in 78 women will develop ovarian cancer during their lifetime. Age is not an indicator; children as young as one year old have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. There is no effective way to screen for ovarian cancer, and its vague symptoms often go unnoticed. Thus, most patients are diagnosed in the later stages of the disease and have very low five-year survival rates. The 5 year survival rate is less than 10% if not caught in the early stages. Furthermore, ovarian cancer has a propensity to become resistant to treatment. For these reasons, awareness and research are imperative to long-term survival.
