girlygirl P.A.R.T.S. 5K WALK for Ovarian Cancer

👟 NEW THIS YEAR - IT'S A 5K WALK!!!!!!

We are excited to announce we will be making girlygirl PARTS 2024 5K a WALKING EVENT.

• Goal: This will make the event even more welcoming and more inclusive for ALL!
• Savings: As a WALK, we will not need a timing system and that will save money allowing us to donate more to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
• Participant Focus: The majority of participants that show up for our event are walkers, so it made sense to streamline the day.
• Encouragement: We hope this will encourage you to grab even more men, women, and children to fight together to silence ovarian cancer.

This research affects women around the world, not just New England!

📖 GIRLYGIRL'S STORY:

girlygirl P.A.R.T.S. started simply as a discussion between two friends over a cup of coffee in March of 2009. Jill Di-Tommaso was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in February of 2008. She and her wonderful friend, Laura Smith, have been dedicated to raising awareness about this devastating disease.

• Foundation: Together they founded the girlygirl P.A.R.T.S. 5K Run/Walk for Ovarian Cancer to raise funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for the research of a pre-screening tool for ovarian cancer.
• Memory: Jill passed away on December 27, 2015 after a long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer.
• Impact: Over the last 14 years, we are proud to say that we have donated over $1,000,000 to the Ovarian Research Fund directed by Dr. Ursula Matulonis.
• Call to Action: C'mon out boys! Manly men run and walk with us for all the women in their lives.
