NOCC and PureOlogy's Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer

We are proud to announce a nationwide campaign in 2008 with a new name for the annual Walk.

It will now be known as the NOCC and PureOlogy Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer!

The 8th annual Walk will take place on Saturday, September 27th in Grapevine, Texas, starting from Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine, at 1650 W. College Road. This Walk/Run will coincide with the Texas Legislature's resolutions declaring September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in Texas. Why not bring your family and join us in raising awareness in your home region? You can really make a difference in ovarian cancer awareness in the DFW metroplex!

Visit www.dfwovarian.org for more information.

We will be having both a 5K and a 1 Mile event again this year.

The course is USATF Certified, and you may chick here to view a course map.

As with every year we expect to have a large number of Teams signed up. If you are interested in forming a Team, individually or through your employer as a corporate sponsored Team, please visit our Teams Page for more information on forming a Team.

You may register Teams of 10 or more individuals. Team registrants will have a discounted race entry fee. Please note Team registrations must be sent as one packet with all the registration forms (one per participant) and all fees included in the packet. A trophy will be awarded to the Team with the largest number of participants!

Talk to your employer - many companies assist in putting together Teams. This is a great way to help spread awareness about ovarian cancer!

Packet pickup is available on the morning of the Walk. However, if you would like to get your packet early (which we recommend so you have your t-shirt to wear), you can pick up your packet at the following times/locations.

Thursday, Sept 25th from 11:00am to 7:00pm

Friday, Sept 26th from 11:00am to 7:00pm

Location: At the Outpatient Lobby of Baylor Regional Medical Center in Grapevine.

Team packets can also be picked up at those times/locations but will only be available as a complete team, not individually. If you sign up with a team please ask your Team Captain where the packet will be available for your individual Team.
