Napoleon Perdis supports Ovarian Cancer Australia
[Thu 04/12/2008 10:27:40]
In a campaign launched in October 2008, Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics is teaming up with Ovarian Cancer Australia, donating the net proceeds of every DeVine Goddess Lipstick in Hera to the charity.
Ovarian Cancer Australia’s mission is to raise the profile, education and community awareness of the disease, and to support ovarian cancer patients through their journey. Every year in Australia, around 1500 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and more than 850 will die of the disease.
Ovarian cancer is considered a silent killer: About 75 per cent of women diagnosed will be at an advanced stage, where the cancer has spread and is very difficult to treat successfully. When ovarian cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, the outlook is exceedingly good, with as many as 90 per cent of patients being cured. Unfortunately, only about 25 per cent of diagnosis is at an early stage.
In Greek mythology, Hera was the queen of heaven, an all-powerful goddess who blessed and protected women’s lives.
