Ovarian Cancer

The mission of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition is to raise awareness and promote education about ovarian cancer. The Coalition is committed to improving the survival rate and quality of life for women with ovarian cancer.

About Ovarian Cancer

More than 20,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year, and approximately 14,000 women die annually from the disease. Unfortunately, most cases are diagnosed late when prognosis is poor. However, if caught early, ovarian cancer is over 90% treatable. It’s imperative that the early signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer are recognized not only by women, but their loved ones and the medical community as well. There is currently NO early detection test for ovarian cancer, nor is there a vaccination to prevent the disease. The key to early diagnosis is awareness.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer
Potential signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer:
Bloating
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Trouble eating or feeling full quickly
Feeling the need to urinate urgently or often

Wounded warrior half marathon

Wounded Warrior Half & 10K

Nearly 3,000 runners are expected for the Wounded Warrior Half Marathon on Sunday, June 10, 2012, in Las Colinas, Texas. The event will honor our men and women of the military and help raise money for the Semper Fi Fund, which provides assistance to Marines and Sailors injured in post 9-11 combat, and ReserveAid, which gives financial support to Reserve Service Members from all branches of the military. In addition to the Wounded Warrior Half Marathon, there will also be a 10K and Military Mile Fun Run. The course start and finish will be around Williams Square with much of the race taking place on the beautiful Campion Trails. A post-race party is planned with food, drink and live music provided by country music recording artist Dave Roberts. The Texas-born Roberts, a Captain Cobra Pilot with the Marines, is currently serving in Afghanistan.
