Making A Difference With My Miles for NOCC TEAM TEAL!
I'm extremely honored and excited to be running on behalf of Team Teal in this year's Falmouth Road Race. I lost my wife Madeline to small cell ovarian cancer in 2022. She was a strong participant with the NOCC during her 14 month battle, and their support helped her to meet a new support group and provided care for her in difficult times. I hope to help continue her memory and raise awareness for others! We love you, Mads!
Description
This August, I will be running in the 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 / Mental Health Support / Financial Assistance to those near or above the poverty level in treatment / Case Management / Educational & Comfort Kits distributed at major hospitals to newly diagnosed and those in recurrence / Peer to Peer support groups / Educational programs including Teal Talks An Ovarian Cancer Podcast, In Person Education Series, and Patient Animation Guide.
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.
