About This Event:
This event is dedicated to Joan Dykstra who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008. She is a great inspiration to all that know her...she always has a smile on her face and a great attitude towards life no matter what hand she has been dealt. Click on "Joan's Story" to read more about her journey.
From 2010-2014, all proceeds from this event were used to fund research, support public awareness and help people recognize early signs and symptoms of this disease through our partnership with Gynecologic Oncology Group, a national, non profit organization.
In 2016, we're excited to partner with another non profit organization right here in Michigan! The Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance (MIOCA) promotes saving women’s lives through the early detection of ovarian cancer and improved treatment outcomes. In addition to community outreach and education, MIOCA provides advocacy, resources and support throughout Michigan. We're looking forward to making a big impact in ovarian cancer advocacy here in our home state.
Taking part in one of our events for Chasing the Cure is your opportunity to do something very meaningful and have lots of fun. Help us battle ovarian cancer and capture the spirit of women we know and love who are fighting for their lives.
Come jog with Joan in 2016 and join the fight to cure ovarian cancer...one step at a time!
