Blue, blue, electric blue

By Rosie O'Hare

I'm now a Zero Hero

I had an encounter with breast cancer a few years ago.  I was swept into a parallel universe - filled with women (I know men can have BC too, I just didn't see any) of all ages, from all walks of life, diagnosed with breast cancer, terrified about their treatment and what the future held. Now that  I'm back on my feet, I've decided to colour my hair because I want a world where there are ZERO deaths from breast cancer. Research is the key, so I’m raising funds for more research - I make personal donations monthly too. I'm going blue, with a nod to Sound and Vision by Bowie, the Carlton Football Club and blue is also prominent in my workplace, so I'll fit right in! 

I really believe research is the best way to prevent deaths, and improve how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated. NBCF is working towards one goal: zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. Together we can help them get there.

I've set an ambitious target that I'd love to smash, so please tell all your friends, family and colleagues that just as my hair had grown back and was looking better than bald, I decided to make it BLUE!!!

Click 'Donate' to make a secure online donation and help reach the goal. Every donation, big or small, will help! All donations made to this page will fund research. 

Donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt via email as soon as you make your donation - donate today!

September 2nd is the big day, and I'll be posting a video and photographs too.

Thank you so much for your support! "Blue, blue, electric blue" - David Bowie.

BLUE

Friday 3rd Sep
A fantastic job by Kathy O’Leary to create this beautiful blend of blues! It looks wonderful. And so far over $4200 has been raised, so almost at my target- feeing so happy!

2nd September fast approaching!

Saturday 28th Aug
The BIG BLUE day is approaching - Thursday this week!!!
I am looking out all my blue-coloured clothes so I will be able to be totally blue - head to toe :)

I truly will be able to camouflage against the blue wall at Kip McGrath Wembley Downs! Blue, blue, electric blue!

Halfway there!

Tuesday 24th Aug
WOW! I am so grateful to be halfway towards my target.  When I set $5000 as the target, I knew it was ambitious - but as the saying goes, shoot for the moon and if you don't get there, you'll land among the stars!  It would be even better though to smash the target and get all the way to Mars! So please forward the link to my NBCF fundraiser page to your family and friends.

You are all making going BLUE, BLUE ELCTRIC BLUE worthwhile!
