KUDOS TO MARY DAVIS & OUR TEAL SISTERS OF CARING Together Inc.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Sunday's cool but sunny weather was perfect for the sixth annual Teal Ribbon Walk and Run, which raises awareness and funds for Ovarian Cancer.
The 5K walk and run kicked off Sunday morning in Albany's Washington Park.
Statistics show ovarian cancer is the deadliest of the gynecological cancers. Organizers say they hope to surpass the $70,000 raised at last years event.
"We need money for a screening tool unlike breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, all have a screening test. This cancer does not," said Mary Davis, President of Caring Together, Inc.
In 2007 as many as 23,000 women will be newly diagnosed and more than 15,000 women will die.
