HERA Women's Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on eliminating ovarian cancer by advancing health, empowerment, research, and awareness. It funds and inspires scientific researchers through a broad network of volunteers, donors, and partners and seeks collaborative partnerships to expand research, awareness, and education. Central to its approach is empowering women to understand and advocate for their health care, achieved in part through community events that build self-esteem and generate support for ovarian cancer research. Based in Denver, Colorado, the foundation operates with a very small staff to organize events that engage people of all ages and abilities, including women, men, and families. Its activities include the Climb4Life program along with running, hiking, and biking, designed to raise awareness and support research and education. In 2017, Petzl Nordic AB announced a partnership with HERA to co-brand a carabiner, with proceeds supporting the foundation's initiatives.
