Friends,

Many of you have been kind enough to support my previous years fundraising efforts in honor of my sister’s 6-year battle with Ovarian Cancer. My family and I will be walking again on June 15th in a 5K in Frederick to raise awareness and Break the Silence associated with Ovarian Cancer. Supporting the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) is even more meaningful to us this year. Last year, days before Debra’s 50th birthday, she learned she had a recurrence of her cancer. She had been nearly 5 years without cancer - a gift - but not long enough. After another 6 months of chemotherapy, 2 surgeries and multiple procedures, Debra is now on oral chemotherapy maintenance and doing well. Sadly, ovarian cancer has a very high rate of recurrence, so we are cautiously optimistic for now.

• 2019 is AME’s 4th year as the top corporate sponsor
• 2018 Team AME top fundraiser- exceeded our goal with just over $24,000!!
• 2018 The Frederick walk in total raised a record setting $130,000!!

I have set a very aggressive, but completely attainable goal of $25,000.00 for 2019!
WE can’t take away Debra’s cancer or end the hurt for her and Anna.
WE CAN raise money and support this cause so that someday, no woman will suffer with this disease. Thanks for helping me and the NOCC.

Without EVERYONE'S generous support, the last 4 years of fundraising would not have been a success!

Thank you for being a part of breaking the silence and helping those affected by Ovarian Cancer. Together In Teal®, we can make a difference!
