Making A Difference With My Miles for NOCC TEAM TEAL!
This year, I’m running the Falmouth Road Race with TEAM TEAL in support of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition — in honor of my mom.
She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last year. Until then, I had no idea there’s no screening test for this disease. That lack of early detection is one of the reasons ovarian cancer is so often caught in later stages, when it’s more difficult to treat.
It’s more common than many people realize — 1 in 87 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in their lifetime.
I’m running to raise awareness and support the NOCC’s work — from patient support to education and research. If you’re able to donate, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every dollar helps fund resources for families facing this diagnosis and pushes us closer to earlier detection and better outcomes.
Thank you for supporting this cause that means so much to me and my family.
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.
