Caley's Pink Ribbon Breakfast

FOR LOVE. FOR LIFE. FOR RESEARCH.

When you hear the words terminal... incurable... stage four ... life shifts.
Mine did.

I was 40 ... a mum, a wife, a woman who loved painting palm trees ... and suddenly living with incurable breast cancer. Overnight, every sunrise, every beach walk with Brad and our sons, every brushstroke in my studio felt sharper, more urgent, more precious.

I’m one of thousands of Australians living with metastatic breast cancer ... a diagnosis with no cure... yet. But there is hope. Hope built in labs, through research, by people who believe our lives are worth saving and our families worth fighting for.

This October, I’m hosting an intimate breakfast to raise funds for life-saving research for women and mothers like me. Because my breakfast is small and intimate, I still want to invite everyone into my journey — to stand with me, even if you can’t be at the table.

All I want is simple: to grow old with my husband and sons, to watch them chase their dreams and one day become parents themselves. Instead, every day I’m fighting cancer to stay alive long enough to see those ordinary, beautiful dreams come true. Please help.

That’s why I’m raising money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) ... Australia’s only national body solely funding life-saving breast cancer research. Research that helps mums like me see more birthdays, more family dinners, more waves and sunsets.

Your donation isn’t just money ... it’s time. More time to live, love and watch our kids grow.

I’m also dedicating my art to this fight. 20% of every pink artwork I sell this October will go directly to NBCF ... turning my creativity into hope and funding research that saves lives.

I’m just an ordinary mum living with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.
I’ll either be part of the last generation to die from it, or the first generation to see a cure.
Please, get serious about your life ... and help change the future for families like mine.

Thank you ... from my family to yours.
Caley, Brad, Ike & Moss Ashpole xxxx
