September marks the nationwide observance of National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, as designated by the President of the United States. The first Friday in September — September 3, 2010 — is National Teal Day and the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance will lead the efforts of thousands of Americans wearing teal to increase awareness about the deadly disease.
Teal is the ovarian cancer community’s color and serves as a reminder that ovarian cancer is the deadliest of all the cancers of the reproductive system and a leading cause of cancer death among women.
Kicking off Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance has introduced its latest effort at generating awareness about ovarian cancer. To visually illuminate a disease that kills nearly 15,000 women a year, each State of the Union that demonstrates its commitment to advocating on behalf of the women it represents will be highlighted in teal on the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance’s website until the entire map of the United States is filled with teal resolve. “September is our opportunity to significantly increase awareness. We must use every means available to us to get the message out about the risk factors, symptoms and options for women, and this new endeavor helps highlight this issue – state by state,” explains Karen Orloff Kaplan, CEO of the organization. For September activities, visit www.ovariancancer.org.
The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is the foremost advocate for women with ovarian cancer in the United States. To advance the interests of women with ovarian cancer, the organization advocates at a national level for increases in research funding for the development of an early detection test, improved health care practices, and life-saving treatment protocols. The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance educates health care professionals and raises public awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. a release from the OCNA
