On 3 September, MOG will organise a Purple Swim in the sea at Ericeira as part of the activities planned for "Purple September", our awareness campaign, now in its second year. The campaign aims to encourage more people to talk about gynaecological cancers and raise awareness of these diseases.
Organization

Working closely with healthcare professionals, scientific societies, public institutions and civil society, MOG raises awareness, promotes early diagnosis and equitable access to quality care.
