Broadway's Valisia LeKae to Attend NOCC Long Island Chapter's 2014 Run/Walk, 9/27

Grammy and Tony Award Nominee, Valisia LeKae, was starring in the Broadway role of a lifetime, playing Diana Ross in "MOTOWN THE MUSICAL." Then Valisia was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Early this year Valisia joined forces with the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) to play one of the most important roles of her life, and plans to win! As the organization's Spokesperson, Valisia has been particularly busy raising awareness about the disease this month, which is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.

Please join Valisia on Saturday, September 27th in North Babylon, NY by participating in the NOCC Long Island Chapter's 8th Annual Run/Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer ®. For details about the event, including registration information, please click here.

Also, come learn about the NEW Ovarian Cancer Dream Team, a groundbreaking opportunity to fund ovarian cancer research that was announced on September 5th during the Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) telecast. NOCC is collaborating with partners OCNA, OCRF, and SU2C to support this exciting research venture.

For over two decades, the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, a designated 501(c) 3 organization, through its more than 21 chapter offices nationwide, has been working hard in our communities to raise awareness and promote education about ovarian cancer. The Coalition remains committed to its mission to save lives by fighting tirelessly to prevent and cure ovarian cancer, and to improve the quality of life for survivors.
