TCS New York City Marathon

I Am Making A Difference with My Miles!

This year, I registered for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon as a member of NOCC TEAM TEAL, because I want to raise awareness and funding for National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. In May of 2022, my aunt, Sheila, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In the United States alone, more than 22,000 new cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed annually. This diagnosis is frequently a surprise, as it was to my family, due to the lack of preventative testing and subtle symptoms. While ovarian cancer does present symptoms, they are often vague and frequently mimic those of benign conditions, making them extremely difficult to detect.

When my aunt passed away,  I felt a strong need to raise awareness of this devastating disease. Support for the NOCC will help improve the lives of individuals, families and communities touched by ovarian cancer. Please consider making a donation today in support of my fundraising efforts. Dollars raised for the NOCC support national programs and local market initiatives to heighten awareness of the subtle signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, assist newly-diagnosed patients throughout the country, provide ongoing support to caregivers, and advocate for the advancement of ovarian cancer research. 

Hope to see you at NYCM 2024 on November 3rd! THIS ONE'S FOR AUNT SHEILA!!!
