Wear Teal Today – Ovarian Cancer Awareness

Bring awareness to ovarian cancer by wearing teal today.    Did you know that the lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is 1 in 72?  The risk of ovarian cancer increases with age.  Listen to your body and know the symptoms: bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and urinary frequency or urgency.

The artwork above is a piece by Michelle MacNaught of Delhi, N.Y.  This SUNY Purchase student was described as an art sensation.  Her life was taken all too soon at age 21, but she made sure she documented her journey through art to educate people about this killer.   The pieces reflect her treatments and how she felt.
