This is for a 5k to raise funds for ovarian cancer research. This is our 9th year and in the past there has just been a photo image of norma livingston with walk for her written under it. We have voted to "brand" the motherwalk with something better, more clever and interesting . It is a 5k run or walk and a 1 mile fun run. All ages participate. Along with fund raising it rallies support for ovarian cancer survivors and for the families of the women and girls who died. 22,000 women diagnosed in 2011 and 15,000 dies. This is a very deadly cancer that is difficult to diagnosis and carries a high mortality rate unless caught early which is difficult to do. It affects women of all ages. The youngest I know is 8. The majority are 35 - 75. The walk was started by Lori Livingston when her mother Norma Livingston lost her battle with ovarian cancer shortly after being diagnosed. The color ribbon used to symbolize ovarian cancer is "teal" like pink is for breast cancer. The event is a family friendly event with music, food, child craft area, etc. It last through the morning a few hours after the run is over and awards have been given out.
