Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
Saturday 01 March 2025
March is Ovarian Cancer awareness Month.
Ovarian cancer is a significant health concern in the UK, with approximately 7,500 women diagnosed annually. This equates to about one woman receiving a diagnosis every hour. The disease predominantly affects older women, with around 82% of cases diagnosed in those over the age of 50.
As a WI, Sullington Windmills will be raising awareness by placing white roses and information in relevant shops and areas around the village. Please look out for these and engage in conversations about ovarian cancer subtle signs and symptoms where you can.
West Sussex Federation plan to have knicker bunting in as many train stations as possible this year. See your West Sussex WI News for more information and how you can contribute.
