Hi everyone! Thank you for your interest in our fundraising effort this year!
In September, my mom, Mo, passed away after a two year battle with ovarian cancer. She was one of the strongest, most caring, loving, and compassionate people, and she is missed every day. Her strength and determination were an inspiration to everyone who knew her.
Emily and I decided to participate in the Falmouth Road Race this year with NOCC's Team Teal to show our appreciation for Mo and to give back to a wonderful organization helping thousands of women who find themselves fighting ovarian cancer.
Please read below to see how the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition helps women and their families during the toughest times of their lives.
Description
On August 18, 2024 I will be running in the 2024 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.
