September is here. Hard to believe how time moves on. September is a very melancholic month for me. My beloved friend and sister in law, Celeste died several Septembers ago from cancer. Having ferried her through the 5 year fight to endure, I learned a thing or two about women suffering through this deadly scourge. Our industry pays special attention to breast cancer, which is fitting and admirable and will be the focuses of much attention come October. But there are so many other pieces to this equation. I remember Celeste bemoaning the lack of support for her own particular brand of hell, anal cancer. That is why I decided to make this statement on behalf of Belabumbum who have partnered with The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance to back their new campaign “Supporting Women Top to Bottom”. They have designed a cami and pant set in a rich teal blue, the color of ovarian cancer awareness, and added pink details symbolizing the connection between ovarian and breast cancer. Since September is Ovarian Cancer awareness month and 100% of the proceeds will go the the Alliance, I felt this was a critical endorsement of woman’s health and well worth your attention.
