In 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic MIOCA hosted a Time to Teal Stroll that took participants on a scavenger hunt to businesses in Ann Arbor. We are excited that this year we can return to our 5k format to honor and support those who have bravely fought ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer due to a lack of public awareness, early detection and effective treatments. To learn more, visit MIOCA.org.
