Right Around the Corner- Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
September, National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, is right around the corner. It looks like it will be a busy month in our area.
If you are ready to walk to raise awareness, funds for research or to support women with ovarian cancer you have lots of choices in NJ. Try the Teal Wings of Hope Walk in Hamilton on September 1st, the Kaleidoscope of Hope walks on September 9th,16th or 29th , or the NOCC Northern NJ Walk to Break the Silence on the September 23rd.
Want to dress up and party? Try the Sandy Rollman Foundation's Teal Passport Gala and Auction on Sept 15th in Philadephia.
How about a seminar , fashion show and exhibit in support of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund ? Register for the Color of Teal Expo on Sept 29th in New York City.
Here is what is in store for me. After hanging my Teal Ribbon Garden flag, I'll be wearing Teal on Wear Teal Day ( Sept 7) to raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer. At the end of the month I will be volunteering at the Kaleidoscope of Hope (KOH) Walk in Avon, NJ ( Sept 29th). I'd also love to break the $5000 mark on my personal fundraising page in support for the ovarian cancer researchers at the Cancer Institute of NJ.
So what will you be doing?
If you are part of an organization that will be having an event in September please let me know the details and I will be happy to spread the word. Thanks.

Flapjacks for Teal
I like Applebees food - ribs, burgers and great hot wings for tailgating, etc. We usually end up at the restaurant around 6pm. This morning Nick and I took a short ride to the Applebees in Hamilton.( I love getting to know places around my new home.) There we were greeted by the friendly smile of Karen Neuls, founder of Teal Wings of Hope Foundation. I met Karen at the Teal Wings of Hope Walk which I wrote about in September.
This morning Applebee's was serving Flapjacks and Sausage to help support the Foundation. There were many familiar faces from the walk in September and the servers - sorority sisters - were very pleasant as they brought out the coffee, juice, sausage and flapjacks.
It was great to share good food for a good cause!

A Special Day for the Teal Wings of Hope Foundation
This morning, I was honored to tell my story of survivorship at the first annual Teal Wings of Hope Foundation - Ovarian Cancer Feat for Hope 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk . The day was beautiful- no sign of hurricane Earl- and the location in Veterans Park in Hamilton, NJ was wonderful. Both young and old and their dogs enjoyed spending time running or walking and remembering their loved ones and honoring survivors. Each walker got a goodie bag and a t-shirt and survivors were asked to put there handprint on a large canvas. Even NJ 101.5 Radio station was there with give-aways.
It was a pleasure to meet Karen and Jim as well as Larry Hill who spoke about being a caregiver. I really loved speaking with the Janet , Karen and Kathy's mother. She told me all the great things the foundation is doing to help women diagnosed with the disease. From providing transportation to doctor and treatment appointments to paying electric bills , the foundation is there to support ovarian cancer survivors every step of the way.
After my talk I was approached by a lady who thanked me for mentioning that all women could get ovarian cancer- Young and old alike. Then she told me how her granddaughter was diagnosed at the age of 4. I had heard of teenagers with ovarian cancer but not someone that young. It turns out that the little girl had abdominal pain just like I did. Her parents took her to the ER. And thank goodness they insisted that it was not constipation and that tests be done. Sure enough the tests showed a tumor on her ovary. I gave that girl a hug today. Made my day.
Based on the success of this year's run/walk I'm sure that next year's will be even bigger!

Every Day is a Blessing! I was blessed today to meet more survivors- young and not so young.
