Dear friends and family,
It’s that time of year again for the Pink and Teal walk! We will be participating again this year as the Marvelous Ovengers!! The last few years the Marvelous Ovengers have raised over $22,000 for the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester!! Sadly, this year we lost the last surviving founder of the Marvelous Ovengers, Cori Palazzolo. So I’m looking forward to beating our goal this year in memory of Cori! Cori was diagnosed with stg3 OC six years ago. Since then she has multiple reoccurrences and has always been in some form of treatment. She always believed she had to power within to battle the beast. She was always optimistic, and enjoyed life. She fought a long courageous battle with such positivity and strength. She was a kind soul and left a lasting impression with everyone she met. Let’s keep her dream going and raise more money than our goal in honor of Cori and make something good happen in her honor! Thank you for all your love and support!
In case you don’t already know, the Breast Cancer Coalition changes the lives of those touched by a breast or gynecologic cancer diagnosis through their 4 pillars: Research, Education, Support and Advocacy.
They have committed nearly $1 million to researching causes, prevention, and a cure for breast cancer since 2003. They provide almost 900 hours of support and educational groups for breast and gyn survivors annually, at no cost to them.* They advocate for legislation that benefit survivors at all levels of government.
P.S. If you'd like to learn more about the great work the Breast Cancer Coalition does, check out their website, give them a follow on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.
