Who is the Retreat for?
For women who live in New England and are currently undergoing treatment, have completed treatment or are living with recurrent ovarian cancer. There is space for 35 women.

What will we be doing?
Turning the Tide 2022 Retreat will combine recreation and relaxation through a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, art projects, entertainment, and free time. Many wonderful things are offered throughout the time, and participants are encouraged to take part in as many of them as they are up to—but everything is optional. You are free to rest in your room or chat with a new friend anytime. There will be a variety of activities to choose from each day. Activities may include hiking, creative projects, yoga, dancing, singing, and complementary therapies, such as massage, reflexology and facials. There will be a licensed social worker for private and group discussion. There are outdoor challenge activities available to try under the guidance of trained instructors. There is a sauna and hot tub as well!

WHY WE’RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO DEFY CANCER

We are excited to be back on the Boston Marathon route this year!

By participating in the 2022 Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai, our team is making every step count toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.

When you make a gift to Team Ovations, you’re directly supporting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Dr. Ursula Matulonis and her vital ovarian cancer research.

Thank you for supporting our team in the Jimmy Fund Walk. Together, we can defy cancer!
