(COLORADO SPRINGS) — On Sunday, Sept. 15 Sue’s Gift will host its annual Be Ovary Aware 5K and 3K Walk to support those experiencing gynecologic cancers.
The event will be held at America the Beautiful Park starting at 7 a.m. and will have Yoga, a 5K Run, a 3K Walk, and Team Fundraising celebrations.
Funds raised during the event will go to support Coloradans with seven different types of gynecologic cancers; Ovarian, fallopian tube, uterine/endometrial, cervical, vaginal, vulvar and peritoneal cancers.
“We believe everyone deserves the best chance at survival regardless of their economic or social situation. Sue’s Gift Financial Assistance Program helps people who are facing a gynecologic cancer diagnosis pay their bills as they go through treatment,” writes Sue’s Gift.
Sue’s Gift said studies have shown that people diagnosed with cancer have better survival rates and lower rates of PTSD if they have emotional, social, and financial support during their cancer journey.
FOX21’s Abbie Burke will be the emcee for the event. Register for the event in the link above.
