Every year more than 20,000 American women are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, often in its late stages. This year my close friend, Jackie, began her battle with the disease. Jackie's many friends who are distance runners and endurance athletes have banded together to raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF).

I am currently training for the Detroit Marathon in October. I've already run more than 300 miles in preparation. Please help me support Jackie and the thousands of other women living with ovarian cancer through a donation to OCRF. Together we can beat this disease!
