ISLA'S ROAD TO RECOVERY. TREVOR'S PUSH-UP CHALLENGE: 20,675 IN NOVEMBER

By Trevor Foy

The Importance of Breast Care Nurses

I’m fundraising to ensure that no one goes through breast cancer without the care of a McGrath Breast Care Nurse.

Isla's diagnoses came as such a sudden shock for our family and the speed of which everything happened was frightening. Without the care, support and invaluable experience of the breast care nurses it would have been far too much for us to process. They've turned what is a cold, clinical and scary process into something that's understandable, manageable and, at times, even fun.

When you go through something like this it can all become very overwhelming, very quickly. For Isla to have a shoulder to cry on and someone to talk to, or just hug, who understands this process intimately and can simplify the complicated is a luxury we're so glad we have.

I want to make sure other people in Isla's position have that same luxury. You can play your part by donating even the smallest amount as I work my way through 20,675 push ups in November. A small price to pay to watch my arms fall off. 

Your support will be raising funds to help the McGrath Foundation reach their goal of 250 nurses by 2025, to work towards ensuring no one misses out on care.

Love, 
Team Foy

I said I’d double it when you got there…. It really didn’t seem like enough. Plus, I hate uneven numbers - so I thought I’d make it a nice even $6000! Well done mate. An enormous effort.
