The NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Initiative will host a “Chalk the Walk” event from 2-7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13, at the pond in front of the Shive-Hattery/Geifman First Equity building, 2144 and 2172 56th Ave W., in Bettendorf.
The nonprofit then will hold a gynecologic cancer awareness walk around the quarter-mile pond there at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14.
This free family-friendly Chalk the Walk activity – where guests can write messages of hope, encouragement, and love to honor someone’s cancer journey – is part of the inaugural NormaLeah Making Strides Together: Gynecologic Cancer Awareness event. It is being held in what is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
The new event, sponsored by Eisai Co., Ltd., promises to unite the community for a time of remembrance, support, and action against gynecologic cancers.
In addition to Chalk the Walk, there will be other activities, including a survivor recognition event and a tribute trail. To participate or honor someone you love with a donation, please register at here.
