Hi @Marilyn I have registered for the walk this year in Ottawa. I will be walking with my sister, but would be honored to walk alongside anyone willing to join. I'll provide photos.0

Love the shirt design this year - No woman walks alone!
For those still considering going - not to worry if you do not have a team or you are not able to actually do the walk - great support will be found there - I've found it to be a positive supportive atmosphere! You will most likely meet survivors at your walk location - just look for those teal shirts and high five / hug them all! And same goes for those volunteers (usually in yellow). Cheers and thanks to them all!1 -
Bonsoir!

Hi @Ingrid_Canon !
I'm sure you will enjoy the Walk in Ottawa and meet lots of other women with the disease. It is a fun day and people often bring their kids, strollers and dogs
! Its always good to feel the support and encouragement of the ovarian cancer community in your area! 0 -

Hi Marilyn Just wondered if all survivors are getting their shirts in the mail.. I registered back in Mar or Apr. I do the Barrie walk.. This will be my 6th walk as a survivor.. Had recurrence last year but after surgery again I am back in remission.. I love this walk.. As Flowergirl said it is a very Positive, Supportive Atmosphere .
The name of my Team is Sullys Striders

Hello I had such a wonderful and uplifting experience yesterday at the walk in Ottawa. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the volunteers did a wonderful job of supporting the event. I was lucky enough to have met up with some very special woman. I am so thankful to have such a great support system.
