Volunteers to turn Milton teal for ovarian cancer awareness Aug. 13

To help save lives by drawing attention to the silent symptoms of ovarian cancer, volunteers from the Women’s Club of Milton will join local officials to distribute teal ribbons to be placed around town at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Aug. 13, at Milton Town Hall, 115 Federal St., Milton.

As part of a national campaign to raise awareness about ovarian cancer, the Town of Milton is taking part in the annual Turn the Town Teal initiative.

One in 70 women is affected by ovarian cancer, and symptoms are difficult to detect, making this one of the deadliest gynecologic cancers.
