Join us on Saturday, September 27, 2008 for a 5K Walk/Run for Ovarian Cancer Awareness
About Ovarian Cancer: The symptoms are subtle…They whisper, so listen. Ovarian cancer is a disease in which malignant or cancerous cells are found in the ovaries. An ovary is one of two small, almond-shaped organs located on each side of the uterus that store eggs or germ cells and produce female hormones estrogen and progesterone. In women age 35-74, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. An estimated one woman in 58 will develop ovarian cancer during her lifetime. The American Cancer Society estimated that in 2008, there will be 21,650 new cases of ovarian cancer and 15,520 women will die from ovarian cancer. For more detailed information about this disease, please go to:
