CAMILIA AND MARC, ‘OVARIES. TALK ABOUT THEM.’ BREAKTHROUGH CAMPAIGN
Camilia and Marc, the eminent Australian womenswear brand, has been making waves for 20 years. Yet, beyond their fashion triumphs, they are also making significant impacts in the fight against ovarian cancer their ‘Ovaries. Talk About Them.’ campaign. This cause is deeply personal for the brand’s founders, a brother and sister duo who lost their mother to ovarian cancer when they were just 11 and 13 years old. Over the past five years, they’ve raised an impressive £1.7 million for ovarian cancer research with their initiative. Teaming up with Dr. Christina Wharton, one of the world’s top geneticists, and a team of expert female scientists from the NSW Gynae Group, they’ve developed a groundbreaking early detection test for ovarian cancer.
This year, in partnership with the University of New South Wales, they’ve unveiled a pioneering blood test that can detect early-stage ovarian cancer tumours – something current tests can’t do. With false negatives now a thing of the past, this test is on track to enter clinical trials within the next two years.
Imagine a future where this test is as routine as a smear test, saving countless lives with early detection. This isn’t just about combating ovarian cancer; it’s a stand for better women’s health globally. Camilia and Marc are not just running a charity campaign – they’re driving essential research to bring this life-saving test to women everywhere. Shop their collection here – 100 percent of the proceeds support their campaign. Let’s drive progress for women around the world together. AA
