The Ovarian Cancer Canada (OCC) Walk of Hope is the largest and most powerful event of its kind in the country, and OCC’s largest annual fundraising event. It is the only walk in Canada to direct all attention and funds to improving outcomes and transforming the lives of people living with and at risk of ovarian cancer. Held annually during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in September, this family-friendly event has raised over $34 million, funding innovative Canadian research, crucial support resources, and advocacy efforts that are changing the ovarian cancer landscape across the country.  Together, we can change the face of this disease for good.
