September 2nd wear TEAL Day, ovarian cancer awareness month.

For those of you who have been following my blog for sometime, you might remember my post about the loss of my Aunt Jo, this past May. You can read my post HERE.

After her passing, I did some research on Ovarian Cancer. And I did not like what I found. The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition website says this:

"20,000 women are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer every year in the U.S and 15,000 die annually from the disease. As of right now there is NO early detection tests for Ovarian Cancer, and the majority of cases are diagnosed in their later stages. Awareness is the key to knowing the subtle early signs of Ovarian Cancer." 

When I read this, I cried. I know if there was an early detection, My Aunt Jo would most likely be here today. She'd be getting all ready to take one of her FAVORITE vacation of the year, to Carlsbad Beach in California. 

She loved the beach. She loved the Ocean.

September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.  

September 2nd is NATIONAL TEAL DAY, wear the color for awareness of Ovarian Cancer, and in remembrance of those who have passed on because of it.

I WILL BE WEARING TEAL ON FRIDAY! 

And I am asking if you would show your support for awareness by doing so too.

Coming mid September I am hoping to have a section of my etsy shop devoted to Ovarian Cancer awareness. I will have items in Teal Blue(representing Ovarian Cancer Awareness) and ORANGE which was my aunt Jo's FAVORITE color! Proceeds from the sales will be Donated to the NOCC   & the OCNA at the end of this year. 

I hope I have raised a bit of awareness for you all. And I hope that you might pass it along.   

Be Safe, Be Happy, Be Strong, Be Healthy.
