**Dunedin Team Ditch Daily Duds for Dresses in Fight Against Ovarian Cancer**
The staff at MTF Dunedin and Dunedin South are making a stylish statement this October, trading their everyday work attire for dresses as they wholeheartedly embrace "Frocktober." This initiative sees team members donning dresses throughout the month to raise awareness and vital funds for the Ovarian Cancer Foundation.
The initiative, a national campaign, encourages individuals and teams to wear dresses for the 31 days of October, sparking conversations and collecting donations to support research and provide support services for women affected by ovarian cancer.
Pictured are Karyn Costello-Duffy, Denise Ross, Tori Casey, Deb Dickinson, and Sue Jocelyn, key members of the MTF Dunedin and Dunedin South teams, showcasing their commitment to the cause. They're not just wearing dresses; they're wearing a message of hope and solidarity. The vibrant display of frocks aims to grab attention and encourage the local community to learn more about ovarian cancer and contribute to the fundraising efforts.
Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at a late stage, making early detection and research crucial. By participating in Frocktober, the MTF Dunedin and Dunedin South teams are playing a significant role in increasing awareness of the disease and the importance of regular check-ups.
The team is actively encouraging friends, family, and customers to support their Frocktober efforts. They're hoping to inspire others to get involved, whether by donating to their fundraising page or by joining the Frocktober movement themselves. Every dollar raised goes directly to the Ovarian Cancer Foundation, helping to fund vital research, support programs, and awareness campaigns. The MTF Dunedin and Dunedin South team are proving that a simple change of wardrobe can make a powerful difference in the fight against ovarian cancer.
