Ovarian Cancer Walk

The 19th Annual Gail Parkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Walk & 5K Run — both in-person and virtual — raised funds, awareness & the community's spirits

Four-year ovarian cancer survivor Kathy Jennings says that attending the annual Gail Parkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Walk and 5K Run each year feels like coming home. 

Andrew Berchuck, MD, and Angeles Alvarez Secord, MD, MHSc, led an educational symposium for patients on ovarian cancer.

Ready, set, register for the Virtual Gail Parkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Walk & 5K Run. Educational Symposium (9.26) features doctors Berchuck and Secord.

Amber Atherly’s friends and family come together each year at the Gail Parkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Walk &5K Run in memory of her mother Carolyn.

Diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer three years ago, Kathy Jennings was thrown a lifeline when she came to Duke Cancer Center.

The fundraiser, which supports Duke research, has been held each year since 2002 in memory of  Gail Parkins. The annual event saw its biggest ever turnout of survivors.

The 17th annual Gail Parkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Walk & 5K Run will take place Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019 at Sanderson High School in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Survivors, family members, and researchers have been working together for more than a decade to detect ovarian cancer earlier and educate women about its signs.
