PROUDLY SUPPORTING OVARIAN CANCER AUSTRALIA

In our continued partnership with Ovarian Cancer Australia, Black Pepper is proud to be showcasing four incredible survivors of ovarian cancer.

Ovarian Cancer Australia is an independent national not-for-profit organisation, supporting women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Their focus is to provide care and support for those affected by ovarian cancer, and represent them by leading change.

In partnership with OCA, Black Pepper aims to raise awareness of their stories and use our supportive Black Pepper Community to help raise funds for this worthy cause. Along with fundraising events in all Black Pepper stores throughout February, Black Pepper will donate $10 from the very special and uniquely designed OCA scarves and tops to assist in the essential work undertaken by Ovarian Cancer Australia.

So far, Black Pepper has donated over $700,000 to OCA. Money raised helps fund support nurses and provides crucial care to those in need.

MEET THE INCREDIBLE FACES OF OUR 2024 OCA CAMPAIGN

“When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I felt very alone, but I thought I just have to deal with this, I’ve got my kids and they need me” 

“I was experiencing symptoms for 2 years before my diagnosis. I lost strength in my legs, core, neck and shoulders. ”

 

 

"I’m far too familiar with ovarian cancer, my Mum had ovarian cancer twice, and my older sister. I thought I had a kidney infection, but everything changed very quickly…” 

“Ovarian cancer started for me during the height of the pandemic. I was having a lot of symptoms but I was listening to my body. That’s what I want to advocate, you listen to your body and keep pushing.”
