Going pink for BRCA

By Tania Mchardy

I'm now a Zero Hero

I've decided to colour my hair pink because I want a world where there are ZERO deaths from breast cancer. I lost my mum to breast cancer in 2015 and being BRCA 1 positive has effected important decisions in my life. I want there to be more treatment options and to stop other families having to go through the same thing. So to achieve this, I’m raising funds for more research. All donations made to this page will help do exactly that. 

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.

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.

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!

The start of my journey

Saturday 27th Jun
After losing my mum to breast cancer at 17 years old, I decided to get tested for the BRCA gene. In November last year I came back positive for the BRCA 1 gene mutation. After careful consideration about this and other Chronic illnesses, I decided to get preventative surgery starting with a hysterectomy and oophorectomy. With this surgery coming up later this year, I wanted to do something to raise awareness about the effects on BRCA positive people and help towards research. Making these decisions isn’t easy and no one should have to suffer anymore.
