VHIR leads the Spanish campaign to educate women about this disease and its symptoms and to collect funds for research

Coinciding with Ovarian Cancer Day, the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR) and the Gynecological Cancer Unit at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital have launched a campaign to raise awareness of this disease in a different way. The organizers asked the collaboration of two  creative masters from Barcelona, bakery chef "http://panescreativos.com/" Daniel Jordà (Panes Creativos) and confectioner "http://www.oriolbalaguer.com/" Oriol Balaguer, who joined the campaign recreating a classic Catalan snack, bread and chocolate, to be sold in at the symbolic price of 1€. The creation of the bread and chocolate was inspired in the teal color that represents the symbol for Ovarian Cancer Day. Daniel Jordà’s bread is an interpretation of the delicate recipe of the French brioche with more balanced ingredients (virgin olive oil instead of butter) and the teal color obtained by a vegetable edible dye.  On the other hand, Oriol Balaguer’s chocolate is built as a delicate petit four topped by a macaroon, specially confectioned for this campaign.The bread and chocolate has been sold in the shops of Oriol Balaguer and Daniel Jordà, in Vall d’Hebron University Hospital coffee shops and Petit Sarrià pastry shop.Through the VHIR’s fundraising platform ‘ "http://www.yoinvestigo.org/" Yo investigo’, it is also possible to contribute to ovarian cancer research buying one of the 50 bracelets designed by "https://www.facebook.com/almacositas?fref=ts" ‘Cositas con Alma’.
