Angela (pictured above, center) has stage IV-B Dual Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer. But in the 7(+) years since she was first diagnosed, she’s been more than a patient—she’s been a fighter, a survivor, and an advocate for women’s health. She remarks, “My body is getting tired, but my spirit is still strong.” It is her fighting spirit that has led Angela to become a dedicated volunteer for the Stiletto Sprint, the signature fundraising initiative for the Carolinas Ovarian Cancer Fund at Levine Cancer Institute.
For Angela, the Stiletto Sprint represents a celebration of hope in her life – hope that researchers will develop new treatments and medications to fight ovarian cancer, with fewer side effects for patients. The Stiletto Sprint is also an outlet for Angela and a safe, supportive environment in which she can be uplifted by other survivors, and have a little fun in the process! This will be Angela’s fourth year to volunteer for the Stiletto Sprint. We are grateful to her for her support and dedication.

The 6th Annual Stiletto Sprint, presented by Bissell, takes place outside of SouthPark Mall (near Symphony Park) from 8-10:00 A.M. on Saturday, September 17. 100% of proceeds from this unique fundraising event benefit ovarian cancer treatment, education for early detection, and clinical research to better treat and someday cure ovarian cancer, through efforts underway at Atrium Health’s Levine Cancer Institute.
