Campaign from Ocean Outdoor marks World Ovarian Cancer Day on Saturday, May 8th
Women with ovarian cancer in the UK have joined forces with others in New Zealand and the United States to organise an international billboard campaign to draw attention to a disease which lacks vital research funding.
The important message, “An ad you can’t miss, for a cancer you do”, will appear on the iconic Piccadilly Lights in central London and Times Square billboards to mark World Ovarian Cancer Day on Saturday, May 8th, together with more than 350 other UK billboard sites given by JCDecaux.
