Raising Money for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition

My first race will be a 10K in Grapevine January 29. I'm shooting for under an hour - we'll see how the first race of the year goes.

Here's a link to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition : www.ovarian.org


Here's their mission statement:


The mission of the NOCC is to raise awareness and promote education about ovarian cancer. The Coalition is committed to improving the survival rate and quality of life for women with ovarian cancer.


My sister Julie, who's fight against ovarian cancer I am honoring in this fundraising endeavor, has determined that her mission, in addition to fighting her personal cancer battle, is to make women aware of the importance of early detection and knowing the signs and symptoms. 


So raising money for the NOCC is a good fit, and I'll be in ever better shape as a result.


I'll be posting my races, my times, and the amount of money raised as we go along.


Thanks for helping save lives and wipe out this dreadful disease.
