Thank you for helping us reach our $1 million 10-year total on Mother's Day.

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.

Now in its 10th year, 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. This year is our 10th anniversary run and our goal is to achieve one million dollars total. We are only $160,000 away from achieving this amazing milestone! With the help of Londoners who care and our wonderful corporate sponsors, we hope for a very successful day.
