Making A Difference With My Miles for NOCC TEAM TEAL!
This year, I will be running the Falmouth Road Race for Team Teal, part of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC)—a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart.
I’m running in memory of my mom—my best friend, who was an amazing mother, wife, sister and grandmother. She fought bravely and with such grace, but ovarian cancer took her from us far too soon.
I will run to raise awareness, fund early detection research, and support women currently battling this disease—especially those who can’t afford treatment, need help covering essential care, or require access to proper nutrition in the face of late-stage ovarian cancer.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Description
On August 17, 2025, I will be running in the 2024 Asics Falmouth Road Race in Falmouth, MA as a member of the 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.
