UOAA supported and sponsored three 5k run/walk events on World Ostomy Day: the second annual WannaWearOne Ostomy Awearness 5k in Durham, NC; an Ostomy 5k Fun Run in Happy Valley, OR; and a nationwide “virtual” run/walk. Our Kingsport, TN Ostomy 5K event had to be canceled due to flood warnings. We thank Lara Leininger and Angela Richardson in Durham, Lauren Fortino in Happy Valley, and Cheryl Ory in Kingsport for their hard work. Our Virtual Ostomy 5k nationwide event had participants from 23 states, plus Japan, Canada, and South Africa. In addition, the Mesa, AZ Affiliated Support Group held a highly successful picnic that drew more than 150 people.
