FRIENDS OF WOW
Here's how to become a friend of Wellbeing of Women
Our mission: to shape the future of your health
We have joined forces with Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister's wife, and the fantastic charity Wellbeing of Women (WoW).Together, they alerted us to just how much work still needs to be done to raise awareness of women's health.
We still talk in hushed tones about any problems 'down below'. But from today, we want to galvanise women into being more body aware. We want you to stop pushing those worries to the back of your mind - get checked out and put yourself first, however busy you are. We know they aren't fun, but when was the last time you had a smear? Or checked your breasts?
We also want to raise funds for medical breakthroughs that would make your life happier and healthier.
Did you know there is just one drug to speed up prolonged labour, but 56 to treat heart disease? That infertility treatment costs the NHS an estimated £2billion a year, yet at best, IVF only has a 28 per cent chance of working? That the UK has the highest incidence of ovarian cancer, yet because it is hard to detect, it has alarmingly low survival rates?
Shocking isn't it? That's why we're determined, with your help, to raise £500,000 for a special research programme to help improve women's health. To kick-start this crucial mission, Fabulous has donated £10,000. We're now finalising big plans to get you all involved and we'll keep you posted through the magazine.
