March is just around the corner and we know many people will want to raise the profile of ovarian cancer and there are many ways you can get involved:

Raising awareness

We have loads of materials to help spread awareness about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer and raise the profile of this terrible disease including posters, leaflets, newsletters and teal pin badges. You can download materials by clicking the links below.

Turning teal

There are many ways you can enjoy wearing teal this March!

Paint your nails teal with Barry M who are supporting our Teal Tips campaign this year, donating funds to Ovacome from every bottle of shade 334 sold during March.

We also have beautiful teal jewellery for sale and Apricot clothing have designed a special Ovacome teal dress which will be available in store and online from Sunday 1st March. ovacome.org.uk/ovarian-canc...

Have been contacted by my local paper, The Oxford Mail, to be part of a 2 page spread raising awareness of o.c. during March. Both my grand-daughter and I have given an interview about the effects on our lives after losing my daughter Debbie to the disease 8 years ago. I hope the message is of positive prospects for the future, in research & raised awareness, by the medical profession & individuals. As Tesco says, "every little helps" ! I'm told it will be out this weekend.

Stay well. Jennie Kuca (ROCC)

I did a radio interview on Monday and also did a video for you tube. It would be good if I could get a lot of hits for it:

Just listened to your Radio Interview. Good on you for bringing awareness to people who do not know the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer. There should be more done to bring this to every woman's attention as well as doctors who usually diagnose IBS.

Not what you're looking for?
