  • I'm so excited for my first "Walk" tomorrow.  I have a fantastic support group that are also my co-workers.  I'm so blessed to have these people encouraging me and coming with me tomorrow.  I would say the majority of my fundraising money came from co-workers.  I am also excited to meet other women like me, who had or have ovarian cancer.  They know what I went through.  We have a connection because of our diagnosis.  See everyone tomorrow.  
  • Fantastic photos everyone - it was a wonderful emotional inspiring day!
  • Great news and a fantastic effort by Vivian & team: Viv's Ovary Achievers raise $23,740.00 for the #Walk of Hope!

    The walk in Calgary is held in North Glenmore Park, which is very close to where I live. I walked for the fifth time this year and I’m extremely proud to be one of the teal shirted survivors. Here’s a photograph of me with my mom at the 2017 Walk of Hope, my brother was also a member of my team Road to Remission.

     

  • @irishsurvivor - it almost worked out that I was going to be at your walk instead of my local walk this year, maybe next year... my family all lives out in the Oro/Medonte area :smiley:
