Since 2006, all funds raised through this event go directly toward the Translational Ovarian Cancer Research Program, led by Dr. Trevor Shepherd and Dr. Gabriel DiMattia. These scientists and their team members perform laboratory research with ovarian cancer patient cells obtained here in London in collaboration with local cancer surgeons. Funds from the London Run for Ovarian Cancer help pay for this program, which is dedicated to making discoveries that will impact the health of ovarian cancer patients.
In the past 10 years, this grass-roots event has raised over 1 million dollars for Ovarian Cancer research to uncover the mystery of this silent killer.
