Last year, I shared why the annual Team Nancy 5K run/walk means so much to me; walking together is a symbol of hope, love, and determination, all of which Mom embodies.
A year later, I’m grateful to say that Mom is still fighting. And if you know Nancy, you know she is fighting like Rocky! Her courage, resilience, and spirit continue to inspire all of us every single day.
This year, although I won’t be able to join Team Nancy in Boston, I’ll be walking a 5K virtually in my adopted city, Rome.
On Sunday, September 27, we’ll begin our walk at 4:00 p.m. in Villa Pamphili in front of Vivi Bistrot while family and friends will walk in Boston at 10:00 a.m.. Villa Pamphili is one of Rome’s most beautiful green spaces. After walking 5k, we’ll celebrate together with an aperitivo at Vivi Bistrot, raising a glass not only to mom but to everyone affected by ovarian cancer. If you do join us in Rome, please contact us at ciao@casamiatours.com
Whether you’re in Boston, Rome, or anywhere else in the world, I’d love for you to join us.
Every step we take honors those who are fighting, remembers those we’ve lost, and helps raise awareness and critical funding for ovarian cancer research. Together, we can make a difference.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my family throughout this journey. Your encouragement, generosity, and kindness have meant more than words can express.
On September 27, as I walk beneath the umbrella pines of Villa Pamphili, I’ll be thinking of mom, my family, our friends in Boston, and every person whose life has been touched by ovarian cancer.
I hope you’ll take those steps with us. With gratitude, Gina
