My sweet Lily has decided to do something very special with her beautiful hair that hasn't been cut since birth. She's going to cut and donate it for a wig to be made, while hopefully raising some money and spreading awareness at the same time. We've chosen the OCRF (Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation) as its mission is important to our family.

Ovarian Cancer is also known as "the silent killer". This is because over 70% of women are being diagnosed during the advanced stages, whereby the survival rate is reduced dramatically. Only 20% of women are diagnosed at stage one, as symptoms generally don't appear early on. For this reason, OCRF have been working endlessly to develop an early detection test. One woman dies every 8 hours from ovarian cancer, so thousands of lives could be saved with such a test.

Any donation, no matter how big or small, will contribute to the funding required to progress with this research. We need this test for our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and future generations ❤️

Love,
Rosie & Lily

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! We're blown away by your generosity. We were going to make the cut once we reached $1000, but that happened sooner than expected (less than 12 hours!!!)

We're going to get it done asap and will share the video with you all

Love Rosie & Lily X
