April 11, 2024 will mark 15 years our mom has been gone because of ovarian cancer.
So from April 2023-April 2024, we as sisters, plan to participate in 15 5K Run/Walks across the country, with a goal of raising $15,000 for ovarian cancer awareness and research. Please help support in memory of a wife, daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, friend — our mother, Donna Carle (D’Amico).
Here are a list of the 15 races we plan on participating in, which are linked to our Team Donna fundraising pages (as they become available). Please see below for fundraising details and progress updates for each one. We appreciate your support!
