History of "Teal There's A Cure" Run/Walk

Image

“Teal There’s a Cure run/walk was founded by Maureen in 2009. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in December of 2007 but never told her family about it until January, 2008. Always thinking of others, she did not want to give that news to her family over the holidays. Maureen passed away from the disease in July, 2012.

Maureen, being an advocate for others her entire life, sought every opportunity to help those around her. True to her mission, she devoted her last years spreading awareness/information about the subtle symptoms of ovarian cancer and worked tirelessly to make THIS event a success---raising funds for research and initiating a vision whereby fewer women would suffer from the disease. In her memory, her family and a wonderful group of volunteers have continued to organize the annual event.

 In 2015, the family and committee decided to rename the event: “Maureen T. O’Hara ,Teal There’s a Cure”.

Her Family is very appreciative to all who have supported this cause. Because of you, we are proud to say that over the past 14 years, the program has raised over $461,000.00 toward research and support for ovarian cancer. This would not have been possible without your continued participation and support.

THANK YOU
