Our 2nd Annual Head Over Teal 5k/1 Mile Fun Run and Family Day will be held next Saturday, September 17, at the Preserve in Hoover. Registration begins at 7:00 AM. The 5k Run begins at 8 a.m. and 1 mile fun walk immediately follows. Pre-registration is available by visiting our website at www.thinkoflaura.org/headoverteal and following the links. Those who simply want to support our mission may donate from the website as well.

Our emcees for the day will be Beth Shelbourne of Fox6 and Ericka Wood of Magic 96. The Head Over Teal 5K event is family friendly.  For those into exercising, you can choose a 5k Run/Walk or a one mile fun run. There will be fun for everyone - a  moonwalk, field day events, children's musical entertainers, face painting, crafts, and musical performances throughout the day, including performances of acoustic folk, rock, and blues.  There will be a blood drive to assist those patients currently undergoing treatment.  Picnics on the green are welcome and food and beverages will be sold on site.  Pets on leashes are welcome.

There is no reliable early detection test for ovarian cancer. If it is caught early, it can be successfully treated in 90+% of the cases. However, most patients are diagnosed in the later stages when it's more difficult to treat. The Laura Crandall Brown Ovarian Cancer Foundation was established in 2010 by family and friends of Laura Crandall Brown who died of ovarian cancer in December of 2009. Our mission is to fund research to find a reliable diagnostic tool to detect ovarian cancer in it's earliest stages and to raise awareness to the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

The Laura Crandall Brown Ovarian Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All donations are tax deductible. For more information, visit our website at http://www.thinkoflaura.org/.
