Teal, the ovarian cancer awareness color, is striking enough to make people ask about it.
Why toes and not fingers?
If you want to do your fingers, by all means, please do!
Some employers have rules for fingernail polish, but toes can be covered if necessary.
Toenail polish can last longer.
Why September?
September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
September, the end of summer in most parts of the USA, is the perfect time for one last pedicure.
Why raise awareness?
Too many women with ovarian cancer do not get diagnosed until their cancer has spread. Their survival rate is 45 percent.
The survival rate improves greatly – to 93 percent! – if the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage before it has spread. Only 19 percent of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at this local stage.
Approximately 75 percent of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage after the cancer has spread beyond the ovary.
Times and styles are changing, and so is Teal Toes! We’re excited to announce that Teal Toes' Board of Directors is embarking on new ways to meet the mission of our founder, Carey Fitzmaurice: promoting awareness about and early detection of ovarian cancer to save lives.We take this effort seriously and with deep gratitude for Carey and each and every one of the hundreds of you who have already helped Teal Toes reach tens of thousands of people. We’ve done it together, symptom card by symptom card, salon party by salon party, and person to person — envisioning the end of OC, plus having some fun along the way to that joyful goal.Check back soon for updates!- Andrew, Sam, Lael, Caroline, and Tori ...
