Break the Silence: Walk for Ovarian Cancer

Saturday, May 10, 2008

Registration 8 to 9 a.m., Walk begins at 9:15 a.m.

Gray’s Lake Park, 1400 Fleur Drive

The 2.2 mile walk will start and end at the peninsula, with parking available near the peninsula, beach area and dock.

 Join in raising awareness of Ovarian Cancer – a devastating disease which will strike one in every 71 women in the U.S.  Because Ovarian Cancer has few if any outward symptoms in its early stages, it is often not diagnosed until it is too late to cure.

For more information or to register for the walk, please log on to www.ovarian.org and follow the instructions to the Iowa chapter page, or call our Iowa Resource Line at (515) 289-0871.

Mercy Cancer Center is among the proud sponsors of this event.
