Creating a time and space for the community

When Peggy Truscott was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she made it her mission to create a time and space for women like her to come together with their friends and families in a community of support. She established the Walk to focus all attention and fundraising on this cause, leaving a vibrant legacy that was recently awarded the Meritorious Service Cross in recognition of these efforts bringing honour to Canada.

Living with ovarian cancer? Join us for Teal Tea.

Teal Tea is a time for connection and conversation, where women living with ovarian cancer can share their stories and learn from one another’s experiences. It’s a small group gathering that takes place entirely online. Choose from a variety of dates and times, and join us as often as you wish.
