N.E.D. "No Evidence of Disease"
 N.E.D. performing live at the
Rhythm Heals benefit concert
Northwest Cancer Specialists and N.E.D. joined hands at the Rhythm Heals benefit concert October 25 at Portland's Historic Crystal Ballroom with a mission to enhance knowledge about gynecologic cancers. The event was a tremendous success with over 500 people attending and raising nearly $40,000. All proceeds will be donated to the N.E.D. Fund at the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation and Marjie’s Fund, a Lake Oswego-based Foundation who works closely with the band and is dedicated to educating the public about gynecologic cancers, promoting early detection and supporting promising research. NCS would like to thank everyone who came together in support of this great cause. As the pink ribbon is to breast cancer so is N.E.D. to the fight against gynecologic cancer.

About N.E.D.
They’re six doctors you hope to never meet in a hospital. They are gynecologic oncologists, charged with guiding women (and their families) through cancer diagnoses. After treatment, they hope to deliver the sweetest words a cancer patient can hear: No Evidence of Disease. The mission of the band is to enhance knowledge about gynecologic cancers and bring hope through rhythm for women undergoing treatment.

The Cause
The band signed with New York-based Motema Music to develop and record its premiere CD in May 2009, for a Fall 2009 release. Proceeds from the sale of the CD and live performances will be donated to the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF) whose mission is to educate the public about gynecologic cancers and support promising research. Specifically, funding donated to GCF by N.E.D. will support the new Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Movement (GCAM) to be launched in November 2009 in Washington, DC.
