We have incorporated a new element to the run this year that we hope will expand participation of the medical community. It is called the "Top Doc" award. An award will be given to the doctor that comes in first across the finish line. Also, we have a new level of sponsorship...it is called the "The Teal Pledge".. For $100 a lawn sign will be posted along the race route that says "Dr. X is helping Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer". Click here to download a sponsorship form. If you are up to the challenge and want to show your colleagues once and for all who is faster, accept our "Top Doc" challenge and compete against other medical doctors in this year's Mayor's Run/Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer.
There are many ways you can consider joining us. You can work with us pre-run, or on day of run. There are volunteer jobs that can be done from your home.

When ovarian cancer is detected in its early stage, 94% of women will survive longer than 5 years.
