For for the last few years, each September during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month I have shared my story with others, passed out ovarian cancer symptom cards, and have participated in walks to help support ovarian cancer awareness. This year there are virtual walks all over the country.
Having an actual walk really brought attention to ovarian cancer in our area. The television and newspaper coverage of the event reached many people in the community. The event brought many women living with ovarian cancer together and there were many supportive family members and friends walking with us.
In 2018 and 2019 I walked in the Savannah TEAL Walk. The T.E.A.L. Walk – Tell Every Amazing Lady. organization has events in several cities around the United States.
There was no walk in Savannah this year but Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month was recognized at a city council meeting and volunteers tied teal ribbons around trees in Forsyth Park to Turn the Towns Teal.
This year I am dedicating the month of September to ovarian cancer awareness.

Thank you for all you are doing. All females need to know the symptoms and act on them.

Thanks Karen. I agree. I’ve met so many women who don’t know anything about ovarian cancer.

Kate, you are such an inspiration! We are sisters in a club neither of us ever wanted to join.

Not necessarily an inspiration. My mother died of it about 11 years before I was diagnosed. The only difference was that I had better doctors.

Kate, I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. Because you are a survivor for so many years you inspire hope in me. I feel like I was just lucky they found mine early.
