Bodyform has always been committed to causes that support women and with nearly 18,000 women in the UK diagnosed with a gynecological cancer every year, Bodyform feels it’s important to show its support to the work of The Eve Appeal.
The charity funds groundbreaking research in to gynecological cancers whilst raising awareness and providing information about the diseases. Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in women in the UK and the most common cause of gynaecological cancer death.
This month, limited edition promotional packs of Bodyform liners and towels will go on sale, featuring useful information from The Eve Appeal, highlighting the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. These include:
· Persistent pelvic and abdominal pain
· Increased abdominal size/persistent bloating, not bloating that comes and goes
· Difficulty eating and feeling full quickly
In addition, Bodyform will be giving away a free Jemma Kidd Make Up School lip gloss worth £10 with every limited edition pack. Bodyform is stocked in leading retailers throughout the UK and with such an appealing promotion they can provide extensive reach for The Eve Appeal’s message.
