This annual event takes place every September during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York and other locations across the USA! There is no accurate screening test for Ovarian Cancer. About 15,500 women die from Ovarian Cancer every year in the USA. This is a result of an absence of Ovarian Cancer research funding and sufficient education about the disease. T.E.A.L. was created to directly address this important womens health issue. Women across the country lack the awareness, treatment options, and ability to diagnose which are essential in overcoming Ovarian Cancer.
Participants of our Brooklyn T.E.A.L. Walk/Run include survivors, caregivers, families, friends and the general public who come together to raise awareness of and promote a cure for Ovarian Cancer. We celebrate those whove battled the disease during our survivor stage ceremony.
Throughout the day, there is entertainment along with educational booths and fun activities for the whole family. Thousands of people participate in this amazing event. The 2.5 mile Walk is non competitive, but the 5K Run is timed so that winners can be announced. Both the Walk and Run take place on the same day in Brooklyn.
