Yes, it’s almost October and everyone is gearing up for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but September is the month designated as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and since we’re still in September I thought I’d share a few products by Laura Mercier that are available for purchase. Laura Mercier started the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund (LMOCF). With the purchase of these various products 100% of the profits are donated to the fund which raises awareness, educates and funds research for ovarian cancer. It’s a great cause that benefits many women.
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. SHOP FOR THE CAUSE— Laura Mercier cosmetics donates 100 percent of the profits from the sale of Bonne Mine palette directly to the fund today and every day. The 2014 annually-released September items are a Lip Glacé in Peach Hope, an exclusive Jenny Packham Teal Clutch and the Bracelet of Hope.
