Nine Years Ago Today… 🦋
On 3 March 2017, I noticed what felt like a simple UTI—something so common I almost brushed it off. It was the first symptom I actually paid attention to, though looking back, the signs were there: weight loss, constant fatigue, and back pain. I had no idea these were the quiet whispers of ovarian cancer.
I know I talk about this every year, and I’ll keep being a “broken record” as long as it takes. If this post makes even one person stop and ask, “Is something different in my body?”—then it’s worth it.
I was lucky to be diagnosed at a stage where I could fight. Too many women aren’t given that chance because symptoms like bloating and feeling full quickly are so easily dismissed.
This is why Teal We Find a Cure exists.
Our 6th annual fundraiser is happening on Sunday, 22 March at Wenty Leagues Club. It’s more than just a lunch; it’s our way of funding the vital research at WIMR that changes these outcomes.
Tickets are selling fast and RSVPs will be closing very soon. I would love to have your support and see you there for an afternoon of food, fun, and making a difference.
Get your tickets here: 👉 www.tealwefindacure.com.au
Can’t make it on the day? If you’re unable to join us but would still like to help, you can make a donation directly through our website to support this life-saving research. Every bit counts! 🙏
Let’s make a difference together 👗🦋🙏
