6th Annual 5K "Teal Ribbon Run/Walk"
Description
This Mother’s Day -- May 11th, 2014 -- the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Florida will host its 6th annual 5K “Teal Ribbon Run/Walk” at the Oviedo Mall. Along with benefitting a very important cause, this event provides an opportunity to pay tribute to our mothers and their memories
We run/walk because:
OCAFs Annual Teal Ribbon Run raises funds that allow us to continue to work toward a world without gynecological cancers. It also allows us to honor the courageous fight that women like those featured below face every day.
There are a number of ways you can join us in the fight against ovarian and other gynecological cancers:
We hope that you will join us on Mother’s Day, along with people like Todd and his three sons, who run in memory of his wife and their mother; and Mary, who runs because the event makes her feel close to her mom, who she lost years ago.
With great hope for women and girls,
We run/walk because:
- About 80,000 women are diagnosed with a gynecological cancer in the US – one every seven minutes.
- The five year survival rate for ovarian cancer is only 44%, as compared to 90% for breast cancer.
- Girls have been diagnosed as young as 7 years old.
- Educating doctors and nurses so women are not misdiagnosed.
- Creating awareness among women and girls of the subtle symptoms of gynecologic cancers.
