One of my favorite brands is building awareness and fundraising for ovarian cancer research. Please read below and see how you can help out today!
This September, the
Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund (LMOCF) encourages everyone to
join in the fight against ovarian cancer.
Since
launching the fund in 2012, LMOCF has continued to educate women about
the disease, support those who are undergoing treatment
and fund research for a cure. LMOCF has donated over $300,000 to
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to help support cutting-edge
research that is currently being conducted by Dr. Carol Aghajanian,
Chief of Gynecological Medical Oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center. Dr. Aghajanian is an expert in "PARP,” and as a first
step in treatment, PARP inhibitors tell doctors exactly how to identify
the type of ovarian cancer that a patient has (which has been a major
challenge in ovarian cancer treatment).
“September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and is the perfect time to join in the fight against this disease,” stated
Claudia Poccia, President and CEO of Gurwitch Products.
“Getting more people involved is the first step in creating greater
awareness for this disease. LMOCF is pleased to recommend four ways to
do something meaningful this
month.”
FOUR WAYS TO JOIN LMOCF IN THE FIGHT
AGAINST
OVARIAN CANCER THIS SEPTEMBER
1.
KNOW THE SYMPTOMS--
Most women don't know the symptoms
(experience persistent bloating, abdominal or pelvic pain, feeling full
quickly when eating or changes in urination) or risk factors. If you
have symptoms or a family history of the disease, talk to a doctor.
Don't wait; the earlier ovarian cancer is diagnosed,
the better the prognosis.
2.
SPREAD THE WORD-- Talk to your friends and family members
about what you've learned. You can join the Speak Out for Hope conversation online by following @LauraMercier on
Twitter
and
Instagram
and use #LMOCF, #SpeakOutForHope to support this important cause.
3.
DONATE--
You can help LMOCF continue to raise awareness and fund research and educational efforts by making a
donation
to
lmocf.org.
All funds go to programs that help diagnose, treat and support women with ovarian cancer.
4.
