Run for Ovarian Cancer
Make Mother's Day a fun family day at Springbank Gardens Bandshell (formerly Wonderland Gardens).
Let's beat our 2013 run that raised $208,958 thanks to participants who care and our wonderful corporate sponsors.
Since 2006, all the funds raised have been dedicated to research right here in London, focused on early detection and to discovering a cure for ovarian cancer. The money raised goes directly toward the Translational Ovarian Cancer Research Program.
The London Run for Ovarian Cancer, supported by London Health Sciences Foundation, continues to raise one of the largest amounts raised annually by a community-based group.
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 on Mother's Day 2014 to raise money to help treat and conquer this stealthy disease.
