Power Up for PCOS 5K Crawl/Walk/Run/Bike September 29th!


Please join us in our Power Up for PCOS 5K Crawl/Walk/Run/Bike!

However your body can get across the finish line!



It is our second annual Power Up for PCOS walking event and we are expecting to beat last year's record of just under $3,000 raised.  Join us from wherever you live on planet earth.

This years walk will be on a Power Up for PCOS 5K on September 29th, 2012.  First 25 people registered receive a free Power Up for PCOS t-shirt and a goody bag depending on sponsors donations.  Registration fees are as follows: June 1st-July 31st - $30, August 1st-September 29th - $35.  Please register by visiting http://www.powerupforpcos.com/5K.  We are again making it available so your friends and family may sponsor you on our website.  They can visit http://www.powerupforpcos.com/supportourcause and choose an amount.  When going through checkout there is a place where they can put in your name, city and state.  Make sure they let you know they donated too.

With Power Up for PCOS growing so much over the past year, there are groups all around to walk in.  Visit here: http://www.powerupforpcos.com/5kgroups to see if there is a group walking near you.  When signing up, you will also be asked if you are interested in leading a walking group near you.

Proceeds will be donated to Power Up for PCOS to help us continue to support to women with PCOS through educational Power Up Groups and building connections with other PCOS women and to the InCYST Institute for Hormone Health to help fund research about these hormone disorders, especially PCOS and will focus on alternative/nutritional/complementary treatments.  Please note that Power Up for PCOS is NOT a non-profit organization and any gift is NOT tax-deductible because of the amount of money that would be required to become a non-profit.  We keep only what we need to run and the rest collected is given to inCYST Institute for Hormone Health.

Sponsors!

We need your support!

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that is thought to affect nearly 20% of all females in the world (1 in 5 women).  It is a cluster of complicated symptoms that are not the same for every woman.  Women can also have symptoms but may not necessarily have cysts on their ovaries.  It is believed to be fundamentally caused by insensitivity to the hormone insulin.

Do you have a great product that can help with some of the PCOS symptoms?  We are always in search of good items to add to our goody bags to pass along to our fellow PCOS women.  Coupons, samples, products and such are welcome.  We are providing goody bags to the first 25 women this year plus our volunteers so we are planning on 30 of each item.  Please contact us at info@powerupforpcos.com for more information.
