ZERO HERO - 5KM A DAY

G'day everyone, I am setting myself up for the Zero Hero 5KM a day challenge for the whole of November 2022 to raise money and awareness for National Breast Cancer Foundation and world-class breast cancer research!

The National Breast Cancer Foundation is Australia’s leading national body funding game-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public.

I believe research is the best way to prevent deaths, help families and improve upon how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated. 

Please donate to my page to make a secure online donation and help me reach my desired goals. 

I have been a passionate and proud NBCF Think Pink Ribbon Partner for over 12 years now. Thinking Pink is something I do everyday. For I personally know every single cent (donation), big or small, will help so many to make a change and a much needed difference, leading us in the right direction here in Australia.

Please donate today!

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt via your email provided as soon as you make your donation online.

Thank you so much for your much needed support! And remember to Think Pink this November!

May we all continue to raise awareness and fight with might, ending breast cancer once and for all! With Love, Faith, Courage and Strength. Always, Think Pink & Thrive To Survive!

Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer Awareness

Tuesday 29th Nov

Are breast cancer and prostate cancer linked?

Tuesday 29th Nov
Research has found a common gene alteration may be responsible for the clustering of prostate and breast cancer. BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations, confirmed to be linked to breast cancer in families.

Breast and prostate cancer co-occur in families, and women with a family history of prostate cancer are at increased breast cancer risk. Prostate cancer is among the most heritable cancers, but few studies have investigated it's association with familial breast cancer.  This is why donations are so important and the awareness of both Breast cancer and Prostate Cancer here in Australia. 

Fight for the survivors

Tuesday 29th Nov
Hands up! We're in this together, for no one should fight alone! You can be a victim of cancer or a survivor of cancer! The choice is ours. Mind over matter! It's a mindset! #NBCF

Tuesday 29th Nov
Most cases of breast cancer occur in women over 50 (80%) but the diagnosis for women under 50 is on the rise, currently at 20%

Most common cancer for women

Thursday 24th Nov
Breast cancer is in fact the most common cancer found in women, regardless of there age, race or ethnicity. 

Although more prevalent in women, breast cancer does affect men!

To reduce your risk of breast cancer, one needs to maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly and not drink alcohol or in my option - also limit your dairy intake.

One Soldier by Sheri Tharp

Monday 21st Nov
One lonely soldier marching on
     Afraid of what's in store
She was in a battle for her life
      Scared of facing more.

  Her spirits soon were lifted
At the sight of something new
   A fellow soldier joined her
   They were an army of two.

    Once again it happened
Someone joined them in the fight
  And that first lonely soldier
    Began to see some light.

 Everywhere she looked now
 There came a friendly face
More soldiers to join the battle
  To see her through the race.

  They came in every colour
   Both the young and the old
They stood together, side by side
   Their spirits growing "BOLD".

They would fight together faithfully
  For this soldier was their friend
Supporting her through the battle
    With a love that has no end.

Poem of the day - Boobies

Sunday 13th Nov
We flash them, we smash them, we push them way up. We shake them, we stuff them in the wrong sized cup. Our partners crave them, our children have drained them, some of us even decided to name them and randoms love to stare at them!

We go through our lives and knock them about, but one thing is certain, one thing I must shout! Our 'BOOBIES' have been there through thick and through thin and life's to precious to let cancer win! Think Pink NBCF!

In honour of my "Grandmother"

Monday 7th Nov
My biggest inspiration and whom I am named after is my mums mum (my grandmother)
As long as I can remember I have been a passionate supporter of the national breast cancer foundation.

This is because it hits so close to home... Unfortunately my mother had no choice but to grow up with out her mum, from a very young age. In which of course sadly resulted in myself growing up without any grandparents.

From the moment I was born my mother must of seen something within me that reminded her, of her dear mother, whom she hadn't seen in many years prior. Bless her :)

When I grew to an age of understanding and found out her devastating diagnosis, I then knew her legacy, her memory, as well as my mums, (whom lost her battle to myloma) now lives through me! I will continue the fight for them!

Unfortunately way too many lives are lost to cancer and families like my own end up being a single solider unit way to soon. 

I will not stop! I will continue to fight for a cure, for the right for families and loved ones to spend more time together, cause let's face it... We can't put a price on time spent with our loved ones, as I personally know how valuable time is and the importance of fundraising and donations. For these will help lead to a better future and a cure, not necessarily for me or yourself but for those we love, our friends and co-workers and their loved ones!

Let's be honest, Cancer affects everyone, if not you personally but someone you know.
 
So may we all do what we can and do our part and simply give back. Helping each other and others via a charity that is so close to my heart.

Saving lives, making a much needed change and difference and more importantly, a chance for a cure to end Breast Cancer once and for all!

A big THANK YOU to all my loved ones, my sponsors, my supporters and my friends. 
I love you all xo

As a Zero Hero, my desired goal and wish is simply for a world where there is ZERO deaths from breast cancer, for I believe every death from breast cancer is ONE too many!

NBCF is working towards one goal: 
zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030!

Together we can help them get there.
