The Winners Walk of Hope

The Winners Walk of Hope, in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada, was founded in 2002 by Peggy Truscott, a dedicated volunteer and a woman with ovarian cancer. Peggy saw the need to develop more visible support and a sense of community for women and their families touched by this disease. Her vision was to host a hopeful and cheerful event, a walk in the park with family and friends. It's a day filled with hope and support, creating a greater awareness around ovarian cancer. To date the Walk of Hope has raised over $4.5 million.
Funds raised by the walk go directly to supporting Ovarian Cancer Canada's programs and services for women living with ovarian cancer and their families, raising awareness, and funding research to develop early detection techniques, improved treatment and, ultimately, a cure. Ovarian Cancer Canada is the only national registered charity in Canada dedicated to overcoming ovarian cancer. Each year, over 2500 Canadian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and sadly, 1700 succumb to the disease annually, making it the most serious of all gynecological cancers. Join our neighbors in 14 cities across Canada by registering as a walker, a team or as a virtual walker.
