In honour of our mum, we're going bald for breast cancer

By Annmarie Grasso

I'm now a Pink Hero

For 17 years our dear mum, Josie, fought like hell against breast cancer.  Despite battling this disease throughout the years, she continued to live her life to the fullest. She brought so much joy, kindness, and fun to those around her and is missed dearly every day. In honour of her memory, my sister and I will be shaving our heads to raise much needed funds for breast cancer research to help the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), in the hopes that there will one day be zero deaths from this horrible disease.

The shitty reality about breast cancer:

Every day 56 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer and 9 people in Australia die every day from this disease. Sadly, as you can see with those stats, most of us will know someone who has had to battle breast cancer.

Please help support our pledge to save lives and make a difference.

Every donation, big or small, will get us closer to reaching our goal. Together, we can help prevent deaths from breast cancer.
