We want your money!
The Orkis family (sans Jen, plus others) is at it again. On April 26th, they’ll be walk/running in the 4th Annual (our 2nd Annual) Teal Ribbon 5K to Overcome Ovarian Cancer in memory of Mom (formally, Marsha, informally, Mike!). If you have an extra $5 to spare, give it to us! Donations can be made at http://www.themikehike.com/. Thanks in advance from the gang for your support.
Jen grew up on a dead end, dirt road in the middle of the woods on the Oswego River in Fulton, NY. After getting her BA in Biology from Cornell University in 2004, she went on to get her Masters in Health Sciences (MHS) with a focus on health communication from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH) in Baltimore, MD. She was based in Kampala, Uganda for the better part of 2008-2010, and now lives in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where she works for JHSPH's Center for Communication Programs (CCP) as the Technical Advisor for Social and Behavior Change Communication on an HIV, family planning and maternal and child health project. She also likes referring to herself in the third person.
