\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tREADY TO LACE UP YOUR SHOES AND WALK TO HELP SAVE LIVES. THE NATIONAL OVARIAN CANCER COALITION IS HOSTING ITS ANNUAL TOGETHER IN TEAL WALK NEXT WEEKEND, AND WE ARE SO EXCITED TO HAVE BOTH OF THESE INCREDIBLE LADIES HERE IN STUDIO TO SHARE MORE ABOUT THE MISSION AND HOW YOU CAN JOIN THE MOVEMENT. WE\u2019VE GOT REGIONAL MANAGER NIKKI COPPOLA HERE AND OVARIAN CANCER SURVIVOR CAITLIN SILVEY. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU. YES, THANK YOU NIKKI, LET\u2019S START WITH YOU. TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT IS THE NATIONAL OVARIAN CANCER COALITION. OKAY. THE NATIONAL OVARIAN CANCER COALITION IS A WE\u2019RE A DEDICATED ADVOCATE TO HELP SURVIVORS AND THEIR FAMILIES AFFECTED BY OVARIAN CANCER. WE\u2019VE BEEN AROUND FOR A LITTLE OVER 34 YEARS. WE ARE NEW TO THIS REGION FROM THE PAST THREE YEARS. AND WE JUST HELP THE SURVIVORS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH DIFFERENT FREE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WE OFFER. THAT\u2019S AWESOME. AND CAITLIN, IF YOU\u2019RE COMFORTABLE, SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY WITH OUR VIEWERS. SO I WAS DIAGNOSED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND IN THAT TIME I\u2019VE HAD DIFFERENT MEDICAL PROCEDURES, SURGERIES, CHEMO, AND NOW I\u2019M PRETTY STABLE. JUST TAKE A DAILY, BUT MY JOURNEY ISN\u2019T OVER. IT\u2019S STILL A LOT OF TESTING AND A LOT OF JUST MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS STAYING STABLE. YEAH, WE\u2019RE SO GLAD YOU\u2019RE HERE AND FEELING BETTER BY THE DAY, RIGHT? EVERY DAY. WE LOVE THAT, NIKKI. NEXT WEEKEND\u2019S WALK IS FREE. WE LOVE THAT. WHAT CAN EVERYONE EXPECT WHEN THEY COME TO SUPPORT THE WORK? YOU ALL DO A LOT OF FUN. IT\u2019S A LOT OF AWARENESS. WE BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO SUPPORT THE SURVIVORS AND THE CAREGIVERS THAT COME TO CELEBRATE, AND THE LEGACY FAMILIES THAT COME SO WE CAN REMEMBER THOSE THAT WE\u2019VE LOST TO THIS INSIDIOUS DISEASE. BUT YOU CAN EXPECT A CEREMONY. THE WALK ITSELF AROUND CRANES ROOST, WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL. WHO DOESN\u2019T LOVE CRANES ROOST? GORGEOUS. ALWAYS. YES, I KNOW YOU CAN EXPECT SUPERHEROES. SCOOBY DOO MYSTERY VAN, VENDORS, SPONSORS, FOOD TRUCKS, LOTS OF GREAT THINGS. CHANCE TO WIN. YOU NEED TO COME TO. IT\u2019S FROM EIGHT UNTIL NOON. OKAY. IT\u2019S A BEAUTIFUL DAY. IT\u2019S FREE TO REGISTER. LIKE YOU SAID, IT\u2019S FREE. WE DO ENCOURAGE FOR PEOPLE TO FUNDRAISE BECAUSE THAT\u2019S HOW WE PROVIDE THE FREE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WE DO. YEAH, AND THAT FREE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE SO CRUCIAL TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF. CAITLIN, WE MENTIONED THAT THERE WILL BE SOME SUPERHEROES AT THE WALKOUT AND MENTIONED I\u2019D IMAGINE THOSE WILL BE THE SURVIVORS LIKE YOURSELVES, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER SUPERHEROES. BUT CAITLIN, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE SURROUNDED BY FAMILIES? SUPPORT ADVOCATES, OTHER SURVIVORS, PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST REALLY PUTTING A MESSAGE BEHIND THIS MISSION? I\u2588T\u2019S KIND OF A MESSAGE OF UNITY AGAINST OVARIAN CANCER, AND TO TRY TO HAVE AN EARLY DIAGNOSIS, TESTING CREATED OR NEW MEDICATIONS CREATED. IT REALLY HELPS US FEEL SUPPORTED. YEAH. AND OF COURSE, FUNDRAISING IS THE MAIN GOAL. IN ADDITION TO THAT UNITY AND THAT SUPPORT. SO BEFORE WE LET YOU ALL GO, WHERE CAN PEOPLE DONATE, LEARN MORE, VOLUNTEER OR JUST READ ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION IF THEY CAN\u2019T MAKE IT NEXT WEEKEND AND GO TO OUR WEBSITE, OVARIAN ORG, AND THEY CAN ALSO EMAIL ME AT N AT OVARIAN ORG. I\u2019M SURE THEY CAN VISIT YOUR WEBSITE AND FIND THE INFORMATION AS WELL. BUT YES, PLEASE REACH OUT. IT\u2019S IMPERATIVE THAT WE SPREAD THIS AWARENESS BECAUSE 80% OF CASES ARE LATE STAGE AND 80% OF THOSE, IT\u2019S NOT A GOOD OUTCOME. AND I NEED TO MENTION THIS. THERE\u2019S NO EARLY DETECTION TEST. WOW. SO IT\u2019S IMPORTANT TO HELP EDUCATE, FUNDRAISE, DO ALL THE THINGS SO THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN CONTINUE INFORMING OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. IT WAS SO NICE TO HAVE YOU HERE IN STUDIO. AND YES, WE WILL POST THIS ON\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
