Families, hospital employees, cancer patients, and survivors gathered on Sunday for the 10th annual Dominique Dagenais Cedars Run for Ovarian Cancer in TMR.

The event raised funds for the DOvEEgene Research Program, led by MUHC gynecological oncologist Dr. Lucy Gilbert. The program developed a genomic PAP test capable of detecting ovarian and endometrial cancers as early as stage 1—offering new hope against diseases that often went undetected until it was too late.

Participants took part in a 2km run/walk, a timed 5km run/walk, and a timed 10km run.
