My name is Sam and this year I will be running the Falmouth Road Race for Team Teal fundraising for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. I have commited to raise a minimum of $1,000 in donations. As an ovarian cancer survivor I am grateful to have the opportunity to spread awareness about the importance of early detection.
Please consider making a donation today!
Description
On August 20, 2023 I will be running in the 2023 Asics Falmouth Road Race in Falmouth, MA as a member of National Ovarian Cancer Coalition's Team Teal. My efforts will help improve the lives of women, families, and communities touched by ovarian cancer. Over 225,000 females are living with an ovarian cancer diagnosis in the US alone, and close to 22,000 are diagnosed annually. There is no early detection test and all females are at risk. I am dedicated to making a difference with my miles!
You can support my efforts by making a tax-deductible donation today. Support will go to provide funding for research, education & awareness and quality of life programs which include:
- Meal delivery through the NOCC Comfort for the Soul Program / Professional counseling through NOCC Comfort for the Mind Program Financial Assistance to those near or above the poverty level in treatment / Educational & Comfort Kits distributed at major hospitals to newly diagnosed and those in recurrence / Peer to Peer support groups / Educational programs including Ask the Experts, DigiTeal, Rejuvenate Luncheons & retreats.
In this year of great challenges, one even greater challenge remains, saving more lives from ovarian cancer. Dollars raised for the NOCC support national programs and local market initiatives which include: heightening awareness of the subtle signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, assisting newly-diagnosed survivors and those in recurrence throughout the country through food security programs, financial assistance, and mental health counseling, providing ongoing support to caregivers and advocating for the advancement of ovarian cancer research.
