If you were on the internet last week there is a good chance you saw a picture of me in “The Vagina Dress”. Since then I have decided to embrace the vagina because vaginas matter.
Here is a little video with my top 5 things we all need to know about the vagina …
1000 women in Queensland will be diagnosed with gynaecological cancer each year…40% won’t survive.
Gynaecological cancer incorporates cervical, uterine, ovarian, vulva and vaginal cancer and affects women of all ages. As the incidence of these cancers rise, government funding into research declines. Cherish Women’s Cancer Foundation is about cherishing women and their right to receive the very best possible treatment for gynaecological cancers. While a ‘cure’ for gynaecological cancer could be years away, Cherish is acting right now to improve the effectiveness of current treatments. Many of the best treatments available today can result in life-changing physical and emotional effects.
Cherish Foundation
Cherish Women’s Cancer Foundation’s reason for existence is to transform gynaecological cancer research to improve the outcomes of women and families fighting the battle.
Critical to fulfilling this mission is inspiring you to help lead our cause. Your voice is needed to help spread the word. Your sphere of influence can stimulate desperately-needed public support for vital funding of world leading gynaecological cancer research being conducted in Australia. Kinder treatments that could improve women’s lives are awaiting clinical trial right now. More caring methods of care are awaiting clinical trial right now.
So what we need… what she needs right now… is for people like you to inspire others to care enough to donate, advocate and start a movement.
