The research endeavours to develop an early detection test for ovarian cancer that is as readily available and as accessible as a pap smear (for cervical cancer) or mammogram (for breast cancer).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”65218″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Early stages of ovarian cancer have no obvious symptoms, resulting in most women being diagnosed in the advanced stages of the disease. Over 70% of women diagnosed, are already in the late stages with the cancer cells already spreading to other parts of the body. Of these women, 75-80% will not survive more than five years.
To date, the Witchery White Shirt campaign has raised over $12.1 million but there is still work to be done.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”65221″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Bringing their support to Australia’s incredible philanthropic fashion cause and representing the 2019 White Shirt campaign is an incredible line-up of inspiring Australian women including politician The Hon Julie Bishop MP, actress Jessica McNamee, media personality Anna Heinrich, TODAY Show host Brooke Boney, entrepreneurial wellness duo Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw, OCRF ambassador and patient Leane Flynn and OCRF research fellow Dr Maree Bilandzic.
