I am doing Frocktober!

This October, I’m taking part in Frocktober: “Australia’s most fashionable fundraiser”. Frocktober raises vital funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF).

A couple of days after I had a hysterectomy and was diagnosed with Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer, I had an incredible spiritual care worker visit me in hospital. The visit was pretty life changing for me

One of the things she said was encouraging me to keep up with doing fun things – and I said I love fashion. She suggested I take part in Frocktober. Frocktober is an initiative to raise money for Ovarian Cancer research and support.

I’ve signed up to Frocktober, thanks to my friend Tash who has set up a team. It’s aptly called “I wore this today and felt frocking fabulous”.

Through October, we will be posting photos of ourselves on social media wearing frocks, with info about Ovarian Cancer and the ways Frocktober fundraising helps research, and the links to donate. My link to donate is here.

I’m looking forward to frocking up. I can’t promise I’ll post a frock every day, but I’ll frocking give it my best shot.
