Peterborough, Canada Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope: Peterborough Kawartha Lakes Full time

This is a volunteer position with no pay for a one day event. The role would be checking in participants, counting donations or running games etc.

This is the 14th year for the walk in Peterborough. It is another year that the statistics have not changed. Survival rates for women with ovarian cancer haven’t improved in 50 years. Ovarian cancer is the most fatal women’s cancer in Canada. Approximately 3,000 Canadian women will be diagnosed this year and one out of every two women diagnosed with this disease isn’t expected to live to see another five years.

On Sunday September 10, 2023, this important community event will take place to ensure women living with ovarian cancer know that they are not alone. I have enjoyed working with this organization for 10 years, 8 of which have been as the Chair of the Peterborough Walk of Hope.

The funds advance advocacy and to help fund much needed research to prevent this disease and improve treatments and ultimately find a cure. All proceeds support Ovarian Cancer Canada, the only National charity dedicated to overcoming this disease.
