I don’t usually get too personal here especially in regards to family, but when I said Thrive hits home, I meant it. About two years ago, my aunt passed away to ovarian cancer. I remember during her fight she had discovered Thrive, and supported it because it gave back to cancer patients AND they were products she could actually use with clean ingredients. Thrive is one of those brands that I will always hold dear and the fact that the products are simply incredible is just a bonus.
In addition, I wanted to make you all aware of the non-profit my family and I have created in her honor, Omorfi Eleni. When my aunt, Eleni, was diagnosed, we also found out that she had the BRCA gene (what Angelina Jolie made famous). Because of her illness, it triggered others in our family to get tested and therefore SAVED THE LIVES of more people close to me.
These tests are expensive however, and if you don’t already know of the gene running in your family (and even then) well, you’re shit out of luck. Omorfi Eleni’s mission is to raise funds to for genetic testing and for ovarian cancer research, making it accessible to all women and all families.
If you’d like to donate you can visit our website linked. Also please feel free to reach out should you want more information about the organization. Not to make the topic heavier or be a downer on the site, but if this is something you guys resonate with and want more of from me, definitely let me know as well.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your Aunt, that is devastating. It’s so wonderful that you and your family started a non-profit as well as got tested for the gene. That’s so proactive and incredibly helpful to other women with the non-profit. Kudos to you and your sweet family!
