Pink Line Markers - Raising Funds and Awareness!
Pink Line Markers - Raising Funds and Awareness!
It’s our second year at Roadsigns wearing Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Last year, together with friends, family and professional colleagues, we raised $2,797.00 to help fight the battle against this disease.
This year we are aiming to build on that number and see if we can get this fund up to $6000.00
Roadsigns Aust will kick-start the campaign with $1000.00 and will match all donations dollar for dollar until we meet our $6000.00 overall total!
As many would know, this fundraiser is one that is very close to my heart (Shannon) as I lost my mum in 2001 to a 7 year battle with breast cancer. If she was diagnosed in 2022 instead of 1994, her chances of survival would have been that much greater due to the outcomes of the research carried out by the NBCF – I might have grown up with a mum and my children would have had a chance to meet and know their Nanna Judy.
From NBCF’s inception in 1994, five-year relative survival for breast cancer improved from 76% to 92%. This improvement is a result of research. Unfortunately, despite improved survival rates, the number of deaths from breast cancer each year is still rising. This is being driven by the increase in diagnoses.
Let’s look at the Statistics:
In 2022 alone, its estimated that over 20,000 Australians will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer
3,200 Australians will pass away from breast cancer this year.
That’s 9 Australians per day
Approx 1 Young woman under 40 is expected to die from this disease each week
Approx 30-40 males will pass from breast cancer this year.
My dream is that one day, daughters and sons won’t have to experience this kind of pain and sadness when saying goodbye to their mothers, and partners won’t have to lose their soulmates. One day our mother’s will be able to live their lives in full health and happiness and won't be robbed of watching their children grow up and growing old with their partners.
We are donating money and we are inviting you to support this cause – if this is something you feel like you would like to donate to, please follow the easy steps to do so. You can donate a little or a lot, or nothing at all!
You don’t have to make a donation to show your support, you can easily copy our Fundraiser URL and share it on your social media – remember Awareness is equally important and you never know who might see the post and decide to help!
The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading national body funding game-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public.
By improving 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.
Click 'Donate' to make a secure online donation and help me reach my goal. Every donation, big or small, will help me get there. Please donate today.
All 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.
Thank you so much for your support!

Hi Shan, it's been nice reading about your memories of Mum. I think that everyone who knew her, loved her and could easily see her warm heart and the kind and generous way she treated others. She will always be loved and missed greatly and we remember her as the best Mum any child could ever dream of. Thanks for your efforts in raising funds for the NBCF and sharing what you have. I hope you hit your target and then some. Lots of love, Tara xx
