OVARIES. TALK ABOUT THEM. Camilla and Marc's powerful campaign is in its third year, dedicated to raising awareness and fighting for women to receive a test for ovarian cancer. This year, Camilla and Marc have announced a $1 million fundraising goal to go into the work of Associate Professor Caroline Ford at the UNSW Ovarian Cancer Research Group, who are working to have an early detection test move to clinical trials in the next 4 years. "Women’s health issues have been overlooked and underfunded for too long," says Ford. "Ovarian cancer is a devastating and deadly disease, frequently diagnosed too late. Women deserve better and I’m proud to be part of a global movement shining a light on this disease and leading research to improve outcomes for all women. Funding from this campaign will directly fund research in my lab towards an early detection test for ovarian cancer." Already the campaign has raised AU$544K allowing the UNSW Ovarian Cancer Research Centre to employ two key scientists as well as a full-time nurse.

"Ovarian Cancer is the deadliest female cancer –yet still, there is no test. Women deserve a test. My mother passed away 28 years ago and statistics have barely changed, largely due to funding and awareness," says Camilla Freeman-Topper. "Through this bold campaign, we are driving a new conversation for ovarian cancer so that women can feel confident to talk about their bodies, and rightly claim what they deserve as a basic healthcare right.” The campaign features women, families and partners, including 10 cover star Manahou MacKay (above) who have come together to champion change. The new collection comes in a rich cream and a deep navy in unisex sweaters, t-shirts, a cap and a canvas tote, as well as a kid's t-shirt. The capsule collection will be available online and at all Camilla and Marc stores nationwide from today. 100% of all sales will be donated directly to the cause.
