[2021-07-05] Final tally
Now that fundraising for the Beau's 5K for Ovarian Cancer Canada has wrapped up, I am pleased to announce the final tally for my campaign. Together, we raised...
$7,741
Your generosity propelled me to the top of all 100 individual participants and all 21 teams who took part in the walk. I am overwhelmed, proud and incredibly grateful for your support. As the Beau's team wrote, "Funds raised in support of the Beau’s 5K will help women with ovarian cancer, and those at risk of the disease, to live fuller, better, longer lives."
You also liked, shared and commented on my social media posts in Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. This is tremendously helpful in drawing attention to ovarian cancer, which is one of the primary objectives of this blog.
In its sixth year, the Beau's 5K raised more than $53,000, bringing the total collected to date by this annual event to more than $258,000.
On behalf of everyone who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or who will―unfortunately―be diagnosed with the disease in the future, I thank you.
And to everyone who has loved someone afflicted with ovarian cancer or who will support someone facing the disease in future, I salute you. You are our supporters, cheerleaders, lovers, partners, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquaintances and more. You encourage, comfort, cheer, console, uplift, inspire, applaud, and care for us. You help those of us with the illness to live fuller and better lives, and―we can hope―longer lives, thanks to the money raised this weekend.
