I chose to run for Tell Every Amazing Lady® because I love this organization and the attention it brings to Ovarian Cancer. I love the story about two sisters who started this organization together, and the impact it has made. My goal is to raise at least $2,000 and run it in 2 hours 14 minutes. I love running because it relaxes me and it makes me feel good, and of course I love the community of runners, especially at races. I also love running because it reminds me to coach myself. If I had the power to make a difference related to ovarian cancer, I would do two things: (1) invent the screening test that is 100% effective in diagnosing ovarian cancer; and (2) make an Instagram reel that everyone watched educating people of the signs, symptoms and risk factors with links to resources. My message to every amazing lady is know the symptoms and talk to your doctor.

The symptoms are:

– persistent and unexplained gastrointestinal complaints of gas, nausea, and indigestion

– abdominal bloating and pain, pelvic pain

– frequent and urgent need to urinate

– unexplained change in bowel movements (constipation or diarrhea)

– unexplained weight gain or loss

– unusual tiredness

– shortness of breath

– back pain

– new and unexplained abnormal post menopausal bleeding

I am really excited to represent Tell Every Amazing Lady at NYC Half, raise money and bring awareness to the organization and Ovarian cancer.
