Clinton Township woman donates $1 million to Wayne State medical school

A Clinton Township woman's $1 million donation to the Wayne State University School of Medicine will promote research in the prevention and treatment of ovarian cancer. Cheryl McKee will donate the money to create the Dorothy Ann McKee Endowed Fund for Ovarian Cancer Research, Prevention and Treatment. Dorothy Ann McKee, known to most as "Doris," is Cheryl McKee's sister, who died at age 57 in 2005 after a nine-year battle with ovarian cancer. "This gift means so much to medical research," said Dr. Valerie Parisi, dean of the Wayne State School of Medicine. "Cheryl's commitment in honor of her loving sister will, in fact, become a precious gift to women all over the world."
