Team National's Pink Ribbon Breakfast

Let's aim for zero deaths from breast cancer...

In late 2023, my Mum, Noeline, asked if she could come over to my house for a visit and I immediately had a gut feeling that something was wrong. I don't know how I knew, but as soon as she walked in, I blurted out, "You've got breast cancer". And sadly, I was right. 

Mum's journey has been fairly smooth - a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone treatment and now life-long testing and treatments to counteract the affects of the cancer medication. She has been incredibly lucky thus far, but without a doubt the experience has been life-changing. 

What has surprised me the most though, is that when I talk to people it's rare to find someone who hasn't been touched by the "big C", especially breast cancer. This is why I think it's important to raise money and awareness to support this cause. 1 in 7 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.  

Please support this cause by either joining our Pink Ribbon Breakfast event or donating to our online fundraising page to help us reach our goal. 

Together, we can stop deaths from breast cancer.
