Proceeds from sale
to battle ‘silent killer’

DIANE SALTER’S sister
was a “garage sale nut”
who never spent a
Saturday without attend-
ing a sale, until she was
stricken by a silent killer.

By Layne Christensen
- Community Reporter

Peggy Matheson died of
ovarian cancer fast October.
She was 45.

“The syrnptoms are so
vague and then all of a sudden
you have it,” said Salter of the
. disease that took her younger
sister and will strike one in 70

ian women in their life-
time,
7 A musician, artist, counsel-
lor, novice interior decorator
and Queen ‘of the Corvair
.- Club, Matheson was a woman
:-- Of eclectic tastes who, when
. diagnosed in 1992, began a
crusade for ovarian cancer
awareness,

Before her death Matheson
compiled the following seven
Steps towards cancer preven-
tion: support research efforts
to enable research to occur:
choose to associate with peo-
ple who care about their own
health; Jean to dialogue with
your body; take great care in
choosing your general practi-
tioner; keep your own medical
records; trust your perceptions
and know your family history
(Matheson had a great aunt
and great grandmother who
died of ovarian cancer.).

In accordance to her sis-
ter’s wishes, Salter is holding
a sale of Matheson’s estate
Saturday. March 30, 9 a.m. to
1 pm. at 1240 Eldon Rd.,
North Vancouver, with pro-
ceeds to ovarian cancer
research.

All funds are carmarked
for Dr Tom Ehtlen,
Matheson’s oncologist.

Bargain hounds can expect
to find “interesting things —
soup to nuts.” szid Salter,
