Come join my Frocktober team!

I am pleased to be an ambassador for Frocktober 2025 – doing one of my favourite things for charity: wearing a frock (or two) every day in October. I’ll be posting my Frocktober outfits on my social media, with facts about Ovarian Cancer, and a call for donations to the OCRF.

Frocktober is a month long campaign to raise money for theOvarian Cancer Research Foundation. There is currently no early detection test for Ovarian Cancer, and the survival rate is low. I can’t even look at the stats without crying. I want to live for longer than five years.

Last year I was diagnosed with Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer. I had surgery to remove two tumours and had a uterectomy. I had four rounds of chemotherapy and five weeks of radiotherapy. I am cancer free now, and hopeful. But my body, mind and finances are still impacted by the cancer treatment and menopause.

If you want to join my Frocktober team, head to Frocktober.org.au, register your fundraising page, and click that you want to be part of a team. Search for “CARLY’S COLOURFUL CREW SAYS FROCK CANCER” and you’ll become part of my team. And then in October, take a photo of yourself each day, and post the photo and the link to your Frocktober page to social media or with your email contacts. The Frocktober website has loads of prompts to help you educate about Ovarian Cancer, as well as 31 days of Frockspiration.

You can frock up every day of the month, on days you can manage it, or just once off. You can even hold an event in your workplace or community, or auction off one of your frocks.

We are stronger together.

Thank you!
