Find Connection, Knowledge, and Hope

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, celebrating survivorship, or simply looking to learn more, OCRA’s International Gynecologic Cancer Conference has something for everyone.

Join patients, caregivers, survivors, advocates, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the world for two days of inspiring stories, expert-led sessions, and the latest advances in ovarian and gynecologic cancer research, treatment, and survivorship.

✨ Plus, don’t miss a special live conversation with comedian, actor, filmmaker, and cancer survivor Tig Notaro, who will share her perspective on living beyond a cancer diagnosis and finding hope, humor, and connection along the way. This exclusive session is only available live during the conference.

At The Teal Foundation, we believe that knowledge is empowering—and so is knowing you’re part of something bigger. We hope you’ll take advantage of this incredible opportunity to learn, connect, and find hope.

Meet the Chingona Crew. 🩵

The Chingona Crew runs for someone extraordinary.

After Sandra Torres passed away from ovarian cancer in 2023, her family found The Teal Run and they’ve returned every year since to honor her legacy.

Sandra was a family physician, marathoner, dancer, bodybuilder, devoted mother, and someone who inspired everyone around her.

Her wife, Adriana, shared:
“The Teal Run brings us all together to run or walk in remembrance of our loved one, Sandra Torres, who is always present in our hearts.”

For their family, race day has become more than a run. It’s a day to exercise together, remember Sandra, and raise funds so other families have hope for a different future.

Thinking about starting a team? Adriana’s advice is simple:
“I hope you decide to join us in building a Teal Team.”

Thank you, Chingona Crew, for showing us the power of community, remembrance, and love in action. 🩵

Compassion in action 🩵

Earlier this year, the team at .healthineers came together for a team-building event with a meaningful purpose—assembling cancer care packages for The Teal Foundation.

These thoughtfully packed bags will provide comfort and encouragement to individuals undergoing ovarian and other gynecologic cancer treatment, serving as a reminder that they’re not alone during some of their most difficult days.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Siemens Healthineers team for choosing to give back in such a meaningful way and to our volunteer, Erna, for sharing The Teal Foundation’s mission with the group.

Together, we’re building a community of hope—one act of kindness at a time.

Wendy Tam, a cherished member of The Teal Run committee, lived with extraordinary joy and believed in saying yes to life. Her warmth, kindness, and spirit continue to bring people together.

This September, celebrate Wendy’s legacy through a special weekend of movement, community, and hope.

✨ Saturday, September 19: Join ALIVE, a fitness and wellness festival created by Wendy’s family to celebrate the way she lived while raising funds for mucinous ovarian cancer research.
🏃‍♀️ Sunday, September 20: Team ALIVE for Wendy will join us at The Teal Run, standing alongside survivors, families, and supporters to honor loved ones, celebrate life, and advance hope through research.
Whether you join us for ALIVE, The Teal Run, or both, we hope you’ll spend the weekend celebrating Wendy the way she would have wanted—by moving, connecting, and living life to the fullest.

Ahead of this year’s Teal Run, we sat down with keynote speaker Dr. Amer Karam to talk about the future of ovarian cancer care, the power of community, and the message he wants every patient and family to hear.

A few takeaways:
🩵 Ovarian cancer treatment is becoming more personalized than ever before.
🩵 Progress in early detection research is creating new reasons for optimism.
🩵 Community can be transformative for patients navigating an often-isolating disease.

Read our full interview with Dr. Karam and learn why he believes there is real hope for the future of ovarian cancer care.

What a beautiful day at the She is Beautiful Race in Santa Cruz! 🩵

Thanks to Irina, The Teal Foundation was able to join the vendor village alongside nearly 6,000 participants for a morning full of connection, awareness, and community.

Throughout the day, we met women who had participated in The Teal Run before, connected with others impacted by ovarian cancer, and shared information about Survivor Steps and this year’s Teal Run with so many new faces.

It was one of those days that perfectly reflected what this movement is all about — showing up for one another, sharing stories, and building hope together.
