RUN / WALK
THE RUN / WALK TO BREAK THE SILENCE ON OVARIAN CANCER ® NOCC’ S SIGNATURE EVENT. The Run / Walk events are hosted annually by NOCC chapters in communities across the country. These events increase awareness, honor those affected by ovarian cancer, and raise funds to support the NOCC’ s local and national programs and initiatives. Through these events the community is strengthened and empowered, as Survivors are honored and those lost to the disease are remembered. This spirit continues with the ongoing participation of both groups and teams, even after a loved one is lost.
