Help us raise money

Every year since my diagnosis, I have participated in the Teal Trot 5k and each year I add an addition $100 to my goal. Since I am coming up on my fourth year of being cancer free, my goal is to raise $400!!! Please donate or even better join me in walking on September 15th!! Here are a few facts from the GOCA's site regarding ovarian cancer: - Currently, due to the lack of federal and local funding and support, awareness of gynecological cancers is not at the forefront of women’s health issues. - There is neither a test nor a vaccine for ovarian cancer - With early detection, women are given the opportunity to fight ovarian cancer prior to its progression into the later, fatal stages of the disease - Three out of four women diagnosed will not survive ovarian cancer. - Ovarian cancer is often misdiagnosed because symptoms are easily confused with other ailments - 90% of women do not have a family history, which puts them at risk for later detection.
