Teal is the awareness color of ovarian cancer. Women of Teal is a play on the words "Man of Steel" used to describe Superman. I have found my fellow ovarian cancer survivors to be the strongest, most helpful women in the world. They are truly Women of Teal!

A Teal Walk for Ovarian Cancer Research - The Sandy Sprint
No need to wait until September to help raise awareness of ovarian cancer and funds for research. You can take part in the Sandy Sprint Super Hero 5K/10K this April. The Sprint is hosted by the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation at the Philadephia Art Museum in Philadelphia. This year is extra special as the Foundation will celebrate its 15th Anniversary.
While not required participants are encouraged to dress as their favorite Super Heros and to raise $150. If you are unable to attend you may participate as a Sleepwalker. Last year's almost 4000 participants raised $252,000 for research. Funds raised at this year's event will support the Ovarian Cancer Dream Team and the Ovarian Cancer Research Grant Program.
I have completed this walk in the past and had lots of fun with other survivors and caregivers. These survivors would love for you to help out this year.
To register visit www.sandysprint15.kintera.org
Online registration closes on Wednesday April 22nd.
