Pink Ribbon Breakfast in the Fitzroy Gardens

My mum, Liza Wilson, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. From there began her long and difficult journey through chemotherapy, radiation and medication.

She fought for so long, and knowing that she was in pain while feeling like there was nothing I could do to take that pain away was incredibly difficult for me.

That’s why I’m taking part in this Pink Ribbon Breakfast. I may not have been able to take my mum’s pain away, but I can help support others who are going through what she went through.

I’m doing this in honour of my mum and in the hope that, together, we can make a difference for others affected by breast cancer.
