Ovarian cancer day

A post shared by OCRF Australia (@ocrf)

This Sunday, Mother’s Day, is world ovarian cancer day. It’s appropriate timing – one of my closest friends, Leane, mother of three daughters, has just passed her five-year anniversary of being diagnosed with cancer. You can learn more about the wonderful Leane and her story in the video above – Leane has worked tirelessly to raise awareness and funds for an early detection test.

And my lovely Mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last year – now healthy after an operation and chemo, but still receiving treatment.

Supporting the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation with their Witchery white shirt day is very important to me. Witchery donate 100% of their gross proceeds from every white shirt sold to the OCRF. I love this year’s shirt – crisp and classic, perfect for tailored pants and a skirt for work or with jeans for a casual look!

I bought my white shirt for Mum, for Leane, for women already diagnosed with ovarian cancer and for women yet to be diagnosed. Perhaps a Witchery white shirt is the perfect gift for yourself or another special woman…

    Such a moving video. Warmest wishes to Leane, Justin and girls.

    Hoping for an early detection test soon.
