GO PINK!

I've made a pledge to GO PINK!
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last September, one large tumor made up of two different types of cancer. It was an aggressive tumor so my treatment had to match. Not going to lie it’s been brutal. 2 rounds of neoadjuvant chemo (which landed me in hospital for almost 3 weeks), a double mastectomy with full axillary clearance, I've just finished 25 daily radiation sessions and at the same time I've had 3 out of 11 chemo injections and once radiation is done will be starting 8 cycles of chemo tablets.
This June, I've made a pledge to WEAR IT (I can't colour or shave my hair as it fell out in the first round of chemo and is just starting to grow back) - as much pink as possible - and raise funds for game-changing research into early detection and preventative treatments for breast cancer, which is vital to increasing survival rates. I'm also hoping to help increase awareness in the hope that others will not have to go through what I have.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women in Australia. FYI - 1 in 7 woman are diagnosed with breast cancer.
In 2023, over 20,000 Australians will be diagnosed this year. That’s 57 Australians every single day and a further 9 will lose their life.
Every donation, big or small, will get me closer to reaching my goal and helping the National Breast Cancer Foundation end deaths from breast cancer.
A huge thank you to everyone that donates and shares this page. x
