Participating in Step Up for Ovarian Cancer

Nationwide

I am joining with my friend, Jane, in raising money for research to provide better outcomes for those diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Through walking alongside Jane on her own ovarian cancer journey in the last few years, I've come to see how little funding and research there is particularly for the rarer types of ovarian cancer. The huge amount of work that Jane has put in to start and run the Cure Our Ovarian Cancer charity while also battling her own health challenges is an inspiration. Together, we plan to walk the 10km event at the Dunedin Marathon on September 12th, 2021(update: As the marathon has been postponed until November, I will be doing a local 10km walk instead for my Step Up September challenge). All funds raised will go to Cure Our Ovarian Cancer's support of much needed ovarian cancer research, advocacy and education to create a more hopeful future for those women running the marathon of ovarian cancer health challenges. Donate now as your small step toward making a big difference for these courageous women!

Thanks for your support!  21 October 2021

Overall, the Step Up September fundraiser gathered over $15,000 for ovarian cancer research which includes the $410 we raised on this page. Thanks for being part of the effort! As the Dunedin Marathon was cancelled this year, I did a 10km walk on the Otago Peninsula with a friend and also joined Jane for a 10km circuit at St. Clair and St. Kilda beaches. Thanks again!
