NOCC's Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer 5k Fun Run/Walk
(formerly known as the Walk for the Whisper)
The DFW-NOCC Walk is an annual 5K Walk/Fun Run designed to promote awareness
of ovarian cancer. The Walk is centrally located in the mid-cities region of the metroplex and takes
place during September which is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The next race will be
September, 26th, 2009. It is never too early to start thinking about forming
a team!
Many companies will sponsor teams if they are given sufficient notice about the event.
Individual participation - by ovarian cancer survivors, their families, caregivers, friends, and all
members of the community - is growing each year. In addition, there has been a growing number of teams as well.
This page is designed to assist you in learning how to form a Team, and how to get information as a Team.
As we get closer to the Walk, additional information will be added here, as well as on our
Walk page so keep checking back here.
Teams can be individual, or corporate teams. You can start asking people to be part of your Team now, or
ask your employer to sponsor a team. Below you can download Captain instructions and registration forms.
You can really make a difference forming a Team!!
Remember, forming a team is a great way to spread awareness about ovarian cancer!
If you are going to be a Team Captain,you will soon be able to download
Team Captain instructions here. There will also be registration forms and
flyers.
