Maine residents are welcome to join the Teal Revolution to help bring awareness to Ovarian Cancer around your neighborhood, town, state, country and globe. It is aptly named because it is going to take a revolution to cure ovarian cancer.

Teal Revolution is a national program to bring more #OvarianCancer awareness in all 50 states. This 5K online program brings families and close friends together virtually to celebrate ovarian cancer survivorship and honor loved ones impacted by this under-recognized cancer. You can participate whether you can actually walk 5K or not. Cheerleaders are invited to register too. All are welcome!

Teal Revolution culminates on May 22, 2021 to help teal organizations like Clearity Foundation and so far, nine other teal nonprofits. Registering as an individual or creating a team that honors your favorite Teal Woman can be a fun way to celebrate spring. Registration is free.
