"The tortoise is slow and steady but wins the race – Ovarian Cancer is slow to detect but we can win the race. The tortoise is quiet – Ovarian Cancer is the quiet cancer – it whispers – don’t let it beat you."

Why participate in this run/walk?
We have donated over $129,000 to help underwrite the Ovarian Cancer programs offered by the Lackey Free Clinic and the Olde Towne Medical and Dental Center for their under-insured and un-insured patients. The Karene O'Hare Ovarian Cancer Memorial Endowment Fund established in November 2016 is a permanent source of funds for this cause.The Endowment Fund enables us to achieve ongoing financial sustainability in our donation efforts to help build, strengthen and support the significant Ovarian Cancer health care that Lackey and Olde Towne provide. You can support our mission by entering the run/walk, or by making a donation or by becoming a sponsor.
