Dear Friends,
I recently signed up to participate in the Gail Parkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Walk & 5K Run. My sorority sister, Kimberly, and I created Team HOOT (Hating On Ovarian Cancer Together) to celebrate our Moms who are both Ovarian Cancer survivors. You can register for the 5K as a part of Team HOOT or make a tax deductible donation online that will support my personal fundraising efforts.
As you know, my Mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in November 2011. By the grace of God, the doctors quickly detected her aggressive tumors and proceeded with surgery and chemotherapy. My Mom is my hero because she fought her battle with courage, perseverance, and hope, and I am so happy to say that she is on the road to recovery today! I’ve never been much of a runner, but this 5K gives me the chance to demonstrate my love and support for my Mom while raising money and awareness for a disease that so often goes unnoticed. Will you join me in celebrating my Mom and other brave women?
