Make-up or cosmetics products are designed to make people feel good about how they look, but the Laura Mercier brand has a way to make their customers look beautiful on the outside while feeling good on the inside. About a year ago, this cosmetics brand launched the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund or LMOCF with a mission to educate women about the disease, provide support for those who are currently undergoing treatment, and help fund research for a cure. With the Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month being observed this September, Laura Mercier is donating 100% of the profits from the sale of their three fundraising products to the LMOCF.
According to Dr. Carol Aghajanian of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, ovarian cancer has been identified as the leading cause of death among gynecological cancer in the United States . One of the reasons for this is the late detection or diagnosis of the disease. There are advances in cancer treatment that enable cancer patients to survive their ailment, but all of this would depend on how early it is detected and given proper treatment. Early detection of cancer cells increases the survival chances of a patient.
Unfortunately, ovarian cancer can also be considered as a silent killer as they don’t usually show any symptoms. And when they do, the symptoms can easily be confused with that of less serious ailments or be attributed to ordinary cause. For instance, bloating and abdominal pain are two symptoms associated with ovarian cancer but they can easily be dismissed as menstrual cramps or attributed to a woman’s monthly period. As such, being aware of the symptoms and prevention is the first step in protecting one’s health.
Laura Mercier recognizes the need to enlighten women about ovarian cancer and help them take preventive measures against it. Launching their fundraising products is a great way to spread the word about this gynecological cancer. Aside from their merchandise posters or marketing materials, the use of the fundraising products can also serve as a constant reminder of this cause. Every BONNE MINE HEALTHY GLOW FOR FACE & CHEEKS CRÉME COLOUR PALETTE, MATTE RADIANCE HEALTHY GLOW BAKED POWDER & MINI FACE BRUSH, and LIP GLACÉ IN KISS OF HOPE that you buy, provides financial support in the awareness campaign to help prevent the disease. It also offers help for those who are dealing with the physical, emotional, and financial distress caused by ovarian cancer. Laura Mercier will donate 100 percent of the profits from the sale of three products to the Fund. Additionally, anyone may make a direct donation to the Fund through its dedicated website, www.lmocf.org.
