Running for Team Teal means a lot to me 🩵
NOCC is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. 🩷
I am running for my step mother, Eve who is fighting Ovarian cancer. She is a strong, independent, creative women 🎨 💪 and she deserves the best.
The funds raised will support her and millions others going through similar health experiences. 🩵
As a carrier of the BRCA gene I am also running to raise awareness and assist with research into testing and early detection. I am running for a better future for my 3 daughters, and for all of us🌻🪻🌷
If you have questions about my personal journey, just ask 🩵🩷
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.
