Frocktober Finale


And the frocking has finished, well not really, I'm still in my final frock, but today is the last day of Frocktober.  Once again it has been a brilliant experience.  I've raised over $4,000 and at this point the event has raised almost $190,000 for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

I've proved that there is a frock for every occasion - dinner out, work, freezing cold day, cleaning the bathroom, sunny afternoon, even lying sick on the couch I managed to frock up. And I've loved every minute, which is not to say that I won't be very happy to wear jeans to work this casual Friday.

I've written extensively about how grateful the whole thing makes me feel.  For the donations of money and prizes, for the support, for the opportunity to do something worthwhile for this cause that is so important to me.  But I don't think it can be said enough so to everyone who has supported me this month ....

THANK YOU!

There is still time to donate if you want to at: http://everydayhero.com.au/frock_lisa and if I've inspired you, please join in next year.  You don't have to frock up every day like I have, you can be a Friday frocker or hold a frocking party, whatever works for you.  The key is that we do whatever we can to help the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation find an early detection test and help stop wonderful women like my Aunty Sue dying of this disease.

    P.S. I thought that today's dress was appropriately ghost covered at first glance ... :)
