MEDIA ADVISORY – Ovarian Cancer Canada’s Walk of Hope: September 26-27, 2026

– The largest event in Canada dedicated to raising funds for ovarian cancer –

TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2026 /CNW/ — Held annually during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in September, Ovarian Cancer Canada’s Walk of Hope raises vital funds to power life-saving research, provide education and support resources, and fuel advocacy efforts across the country.

“After decades without an improvement in ovarian cancer survival rates, our research investments and advocacy efforts are creating momentum that will translate into real change for women diagnosed with this disease. Progress like this is only possible because Canadians are fundraising, donating and uniting under a shared vision – a future where ovarian cancer is preventable, curable, and ultimately eradicated. The powerful act of individuals coming together at the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope is what will sustain our momentum and achieve this vision,” said Tania Vrionis, Chief Executive Officer, Ovarian Cancer Canada. 

It’s the largest fundraising walk in the country that is solely dedicated to transforming the lives of those facing ovarian cancer and their families. For registration and to donate, please visit ovariancancerwalkofhope.ca.
