<\/p>\nYup, it\u2019s that time of year again. Time for me to Frock up for a great cause!<\/p>\n
So here\u2019s the obligatory last day of jeans wearing til November 1st selfie<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For those who have no idea what Frocktober is all about\u2026..<\/p>\n
Held throughout the whole month of October, Frocktober is a fundraising initiative to raise
\nfunds and awareness for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF). The classic
\nFrocktober challenge asks participants to wear a frock every a day during the month. It\u2019s
\nall about increasing public awareness of ovarian cancer and raising money to support the
\ndevelopment of an early detection test. Since its inception, Frocktober has raised over $1
\nmillion for the OCRF.
\nOne woman dies every ten hours from ovarian cancer<\/strong>. As there is currently no early
\ndetection test and a lack of symptoms in the early stages of disease, women are usually
\ndiagnosed in the late stages of the disease – when the cancer has spread to other organs
\nin the body. If the cancer is diagnosed and treated early, between 80-100% of patients
\nwill survive for more than five years. But only approximately 30% of women diagnosed at
\nadvanced stages will survive for more than five years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAs I\u2019ve done every year for the last 4 years I\u2019m going to frock it up every day in October. This year I\u2019m aiming to wear a different dress every day.
\nYou can donate here<\/a> and keep up to date by following me on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\nAnd if you think you’d be stuck wearing a dress a day, check out this post by The mummy & the minx<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
