Good news for Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer will be included in its symptoms awareness programme, Be Clear on Cancer.
This is a hugely important development and one that we believe will genuinely save lives. Currently only three per cent of UK women are very confident of spotting a symptom of ovarian cancer. By raising awareness of symptoms, the Department of Health aim to improve early diagnosis, and save the lives of at least 500 women a year.
As you know, this is something that Target Ovarian Cancer has been campaigning for since the beginning.
A spokesman said: “We’re also extremely grateful to the APPG on ovarian cancer, which has been instrumental in securing this progress, with members taking up the challenge to grow support within parliament. They held a debate last autumn, and subsequently met with the Care Services Minister Paul Burstow MP.
“Indeed he chose the AGM of the group to announce that ovarian cancer was now being included in the Be Clear on Cancer programme. Three initial pilot campaigns will take place in cancer networks, early in 2013, and it is then hoped that the campaign can be escalated to a regional and then national level.”

Mother of all awards for Lucy
In 2012, as part of our 10 year celebrations, we at Trilogy chose to support Child’s i Foundation (CiF) with our Helping Hand Wash campaign.
Child’s i is a small charity making a real difference to the lives of abandoned babies and vulnerable mothers in Uganda and we are delighted to congratulate the charity’s founder, Lucy Buck, who has just been named Clarin’s Most Dynamisante Woman of the Year 2012.
All Trilogy’s profits from the sale of Helping Hand Wash throughout 2012 will be donated to Child’s i Foundation and the campaign is on track to reach its fundraising target of $30,000 NZD (£15,000) over the 12 months.
Funds raised will be used to pay for the salaries and expenses of six incredible social workers who reintegrate children safely back into their families or into adoptive families within six months of entering care. This essential support ensures that children don’t start their young lives in institutional care, thereby giving them a chance to thrive in life and fulfil their full potential in a family.
Helping Hand Wash combines the natural antibacterial properties of Elderberry and Burdock with natural vegetable oils in an effective, low foaming liquid soap. With Trilogy’s signature fragrance of frankincense, rose geranium and lavender, the luxurious creamy texture leaves hands feeling deliciously soft and clean. Trilogy Helping Hand Wash, £13.50 (300ml).
Cherish yourself and kick up your heels!
jane iredale – THE SKIN CARE MAKEUP® is supporting the work of breast cancer charities in the US and UK. This year’s campaign is marked by the launch of Cherish Lip Fixation, a versatile, two-in-one product with a lip stain in a universally flattering pink and a complementary opalescent gloss. Soothing botanicals pamper lips with softly saturated colour and lustrous shine for a plump and pretty pout.
A shining tribute to inspiring women affected by breast cancer, Cherish is an uplifting indulgence for every woman and a reminder to kick up her heels and celebrate life! Cherish comes with a zip pouch adorned with two whimsical diamante bejeweled shoe charms for your bracelet, key ring or bag that evoke the campaign name: “Cherish yourself and kick up your heels!”
One hundred percent of profits from the sales of Cherish will be donated to two charities. UK and Ireland distributor iiaa will raise funds for the third year running for Against Breast Cancer*, a charity dedicated to funding ground breaking research to improve detection and increase survival after breast cancer diagnosis. In the US, Iredale Mineral Cosmetics will support Living Beyond Breast Cancer, an education and support organisation dedicated to empowering all women affected by breast cancer.
Lip Fixation’s innovative technology combines a long lasting lip stain on one end and a gloss loaded with moisturising avocado oil on the other, preventing the drying often associated with lip stains. The pure organic vanilla flavoured lip gloss is exclusively formulated to extend wear time, and a proprietary formula makes the stain impervious to water.
Cherish is on sale from September onwards and will be available for purchase while supplies last, priced £23 rrp.
