The Carolyn Lazarus Award is a very special accolade,
and will be given to the individual who has made the most significant impact on changing the way people think and feel about menopause, in or out of the workplace.
Carolyn Lazurus was the founder of totally4women (t4w), an online community for women to allow and encourage them to share their experiences, ask the kind of questions they had felt unable to raise before and offer
support to one another. The success of her initiative brought women together, often allowing them to gain, or regain, confidence and a sense of being. Carolyn was full of energy and fortitude: her determination and
willingness to listen and learn was born out of her passion to help other women.
Tragically, Carolyn, wife to Marc and mother to Daisy and Chad, lost her battle with cancer in 2016.
Throughout her life she faced challenges and opportunities with courage and strength of spirit and would be pleased to know this award recognises such attributes in its recipient.
