- Every 7 minutes a woman is diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer; an estimated 82,000 cases will be diagnosed in the US this year alone. Do you know someone who is an ovarian cancer patient or survivor? A new garden in Huntsville is being built in their honor. The Lilies of the Valley Garden of Life and Remembrance will be located on the Gateway Greenway on Meridian Street in downtown Huntsville and is a place for celebration of milestones and survival, as well as a place to reflect and remember those who've been lost. Bricks are being sold in honor or memory of those affected by gynecologic cancers.
