Upcoming event promotes ovarian cancer awareness

St. Luke's Hospital is proud to be a sponsor of an upcoming ovarian cancer awareness walk and its effort to draw attention to ovarian cancer, its survivors and the symptoms of this disease.

Ovarian cancer survivors will be acknowledged and celebrated at this event. Walkers are invited to walk at their own pace for as little or as long as they'd like. Pre-registration for the walk guarantees a t-shirt and an event bag, but walk-day registration is also an option at the walk site.

Proceeds from the walk will go to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition and the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. E-mail nevergiveupoca@gmail.com or go to

facebook.com/NeverGiveUp.OCA for more information or a registration form.

Symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:

• Bloating

• Pelvic or abdominal pain

• Trouble eating or feeling full quickly

• Urgency or frequency of urination
