Ovarian Cancer Coalition 5K

Ovarian 5K 1 Ovarian 5K 3 Ovarian 5K 2
September’s 5K was for Ovarian Cancer. We know several women that have survived ovarian cancer and much research needs to be done to eliminate this disease. The race involved the whole family, as well as some friends and neighbors. It was a perfect morning for a run. I do have to say, I did beat Zach (by about 2 seconds) with the following caveats; 1) He’s never run a 5K before and 2) he got very little sleep the night before and, 3) I think he let the old man win so I wouldn’t be depressed.
We had an inspiration during the race. We’ve been running a lot of charity races, all seemingly focused on cancers that involve “lady parts”. To be fair, it seems like there should be a guy cancer focused event. We came up with the idea for a 5K to fight testicular cancer. So fair all we’ve done is come up with a race theme/slogan. Here’s what we have so far (feel free to add or ridicule).

  • “The Running of the Balls”
  • “Sack Attack”
  • “Members Only”
