TERRYWHITE Chemmart's total fundraising support for Ovarian Cancer Australia (OCA) is expected to hit $1,225,550 in this, their 12th year of association, following a month of fundraising activities throughout Feb.
The disease has the lowest survival rate of any women's cancer with only 44% of women diagnosed surviving five years post-diagnosis.
TerryWhite Chemmart ceo Anthony White said the community pharmacy network was proud to be a long time supporter of the organisation, with many pharmacies taking part in fundraising activities such as walks, and Morning and Afternoon Teals.
"By working with Ovarian Cancer Australia, we are able to play our part in taking action for Australians affected by ovarian cancer -- not only by raising vital funds, but also by helping to raise awareness of this disease," White said.
TWC also supported through attendance at OCA's annual Teal Ribbon Luncheon in Melbourne on 01 Feb, and Afternoon Teal events in TWC's Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide offices on Teal Ribbon Day, Wed 28th Feb.
