Run for Ovarian Cancer
Thanks for joining us at Springbank Gardens Bandshell (formerly Wonderland Gardens) for the 11th annual 5 km run/walk and 1 km fun walk and making Mother's Day a fun family day.
After raising $180,000 and achieving $1 million in 10 years, we're well on our way to our second $1 million in half the time with the help of Londoners who care and our wonderful corporate sponsors.
Since 2006, all the funds raised have been dedicated to research focused on early detection and to discovering a cure for ovarian cancer, going directly toward the Translational Ovarian Cancer Research Program.
The London Run for Ovarian Cancer, supported by London Health Sciences Foundation, generates the largest amount of funding for LHSC of any non-profit organization in London with only a one-day event!
The Run for Ovarian Cancer started simply with a group of fitness friends and a discussion over coffee in September 2002. Ann Crowley was still reeling from her diagnosis of ovarian cancer when she became committed to raising awareness about this devastating disease.
The first run in 2003 was far more than a resounding financial success. It was a personal triumph for Ann Crowley and the cancer survivors who joined us on the stage to celebrate the raising of over eighty five thousand dollars. Ann lost her valiant fight against cancer two months later.
Our 11-year achievement of well over $1 million will help researchers uncover the mystery of this silent killer.
We can't stop now! Join us next year to raise money to help treat and conquer this stealthy disease.
