Lots of people will be taking one collective giant step forward this weekend for a big walk against Ovarian Cancer at the Detroit Zoo. The annual event takes place Sunday Sept. 17th. Click the video player to see JoAnne Purtan's interview on 7 Action News at Noon.

The walk  is organized by the  Belinda Sue Fund.  Check-in begins at 7:45 am at the zoo, and the walk begins at 9am.

It's a  non-competitive 1-mile walk that will meander through the Zoo property.  Organizers say it's a great way  for families and the community to increase awareness of Ovarian Cancer and to fund early detection research.
