Gail Parkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Awareness Walk & 5K Run

This year marks the 22nd year of this event raising awareness, paying tribute to those touched by ovarian cancer, and supporting ovarian cancer research at DCI.

Melanie Bacheler founded the event in 2002 to honor the memory of her mother Gail Parkins, who passed away at the age of 56 after a two-year battle with ovarian epithelial cancer.

Over these past two decades, the family event has raised more than $5M in funds for ovarian cancer research.
