September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and we would be so grateful if you would join the
Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund (LMOCF) in raising awareness of the disease.
The
LMOCF was started by Laura Mercier, founder of Laura Mercier cosmetics,
and Claudia Poccia, President & CEO of Gurwitch Products, the
brand’s parent company, because both women’s lives were touched by loved
ones who faced ovarian cancer. In 2011, Poccia lost her younger
sister, Laura Lia Murray who was only 39 years old, to the disease.
Mercier has witnessed her dear friend, Ranee Flynn bravely battle
ovarian cancer for years.
Last
September, they, along with their colleagues at Laura Mercier
cosmetics, launched the LMOCF with the mission of educating women about
the disease, supporting those who were undergoing treatment, and funding
research for a cure.
This year, in order to support the cause, Laura Mercier will donate
100 percent of the profits from the sale of three products to the Fund. Additionally, anyone may make a direct donation to the Fund through its dedicated website,
www.lmocf.org. The new products, which launch in September, are outlined below.

WHY IT MATTERS
- Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among gynecological cancers in the United States.*
- Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among American women.*
- Know your family history. Up to 15% of all ovarian cancer is hereditary and there are things you can do to reduce risk for yourself and your family.*
- The American Cancer Society estimates that 22,280 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2012; 15,500 women will die of the disease.
- Most women newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer already have advanced disease.*
