The Run/Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer is NOCC's signature event. It is an opportunity to increase awareness, honor those affected by ovarian cancer, and raise financial support to benefit local and national initiatives. There is a timed 5K and a teal mile walk. We have a special booth for survivors, a kids tent with princesses on hand to met and a greet, and a memory tent to honor those lost. We seek many volunteers to make this event run smoothly, including help with check-in, course marshalls, and supporting survivors. To register as a participant or volunteer for the event visit http://runwalk.ovarian.org/dcmetro
