SUPPORT LORI’S MISSION
Join us to honor Lori’s legacy of turning negatives into positives. Together, we can make a difference in the fi ght against ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer hits close to home for the Newk’s family. Lori Newcomb, Co - Founder of Newk’s Cares and wife of Newk’s Eatery Founder, Chris Newcomb, was diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer in February 2013. Her story is all too familiar for many women, as 1 in 78 will develop this disease. Ovarian cancer is the fi fth - leading cause of cancer death among women. While Lori lost her physical battle to ovarian cancer on February 28, 2019, her mission to help all women, present and future, affected by this disease will live on.
