Frocktober



Did you know there is no known early prediction test for ovarian cancer?


Did you know that every ten hours, one woman dies from ovarian cancer?


Did you know that ovarian cancer is often diagnosed in its late stages and only 20%-30% of women will survive beyond five years of diagnosis?


Now did you know, survival rates increase to 80-100% when ovarian cancer is detected and treated early?


Not trying to sound completely like an infomercial but as a woman that is really scary especially when my mother died of cancer in the woman's reproductive system. The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation in Australia gave a new way to raise money to find a early prediction test for ovarian cancer.It just takes a girl, or even a man! to vow to wear a frock (dress) everyday in October and have friends/families/strangers to donate in behalf of your goal!


I am just about half way through the month and these are all my frocks so far! and please go donate on behalf of me, or anyone really!
