Launceston-based women’s business networking group Empowered Mums is honouring two women with ovarian cancer and raising funds and awareness about the disease with a special event next week during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
Two members of Launceston Empowered Mums Business Network have been touched by ovarian cancer through their mothers. It is more common than many realise, with 1,4001 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer and more than 1000 of those dying from the disease each year.
Empowered Mums’ Morning Teal event will be held on Wednesday, February 11, between 10am and 12pm at the Tailrace Centre, Riverside.
