“Cancer destroys
families – we need a cure”
SALLY OBERMEDER
THE DAILY EDITION HOST, 44“Because I’ve been sick [with breast
cancer in 2011], I know how cancer can
completely destroy families and break
them apart. Even though breast cancer
and ovarian cancer are diferent, at the
end of the day, it’s all one sickness.
“You don’t realise how important
research is until someone you know and
love is touched by cancer. We can’t let
this happen to the women in our lives.
We need to find a cure, find an early
detection test and make progress. The
OCRF’s work is imperative to that.
“This year, I’m wearing a white
shirt on May 8 because it’s such a simple
way to make a big diference. It’s easy to
feel helpless and think only scientists at
the forefront of medicine can make a
diference. This is a way of taking the
power back and being part of the solu-
tion. If we all buy a white shirt, we can
help to find a solution.”THIS WHITE SHIRT
CAN SAVE LIVES
In the lead up to World Ovarian
Cancer Day on May 8, Witchery
