The first annual T.E.A.L. (Tell Every Amazing Lady) Walk will be held on Saturday, September 12 in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Proceeds will benefit Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
The non-competitive 5K event, organized by the not-for-profit organization Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer, is the first ovarian cancer-specific research walk in the city. Co-founders Louisa McGregor and Pamela Esposito chose to create the walk because the cause is one close to their hearts. Louisa is an ovarian cancer survivor dedicated to spreading awareness of the disease. Through the walk, she hopes to provide women with the tools they need to educate themselves, while raising money to find a method of early detection.
Prior to organizing the event, Louisa appeared on the NBC Today Show and Channel 12 news to promote awareness, as well as numerous public service announcements, including some for Stand Up To Cancer and Gilda's Club NYC.
The walk begins at 10:00 a.m. at the Bartel Pritchard Square Entrance of Prospect Park. In addition to the walk itself, there will be educational booths and fun activities for the entire family to enjoy. Pariticipants will include ovarian cancer survivors, caregivers, families and friends, all coming together for the cause.
Spread the word, form a team, bring your family, and help make the first annual T.E.A.L. Walk a success!
