In the Pink!

The attached photo is me on my 40th birthday in party mode. If I’d told 40 year old me that in 20 years when I turned 60 I’d be diagnosed with breast cancer (invasive mucinous carcinoma), I don’t think I would have believed it. But here I am, now 60, a diagnosis, three surgeries in eight weeks and awaiting further treatment. I am buoyed by the incredible support of special family members, friends in general and more specifically, those who have also walked the pink path. Colleen (Col to most of us) is one of those very close friends and a breast cancer survivor, so the two of us have decided to do something positive during breast cancer awareness month and raise funds for the  McGrath Foundation. The McGrath Foundation’s mission is to ensure that no one goes through breast cancer without the care of a breast care nurse. The foundation is committed to fund 250 McGrath breast care nurses by 2025. With our help! Please come and share morning tea (it’s the bring a plate story) and pop $5 in the pink box to help us reach our goal. There will be a couple of raffles to boost things along so bring some extra cash. 
Looking forward to your support and catching up with each other in aid of this worthy cause!  
If you can’t make it on the day, there’s a link to donate instead, if you would like to, 
Pink is the colour of love, of care, of support, of hope, of life. 

Pink is the colour of care

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

A breast cancer diagnosis can change your life in an instant and the impact can be felt right through your family, friends, and community.

McGrath Breast Care Nurses help individuals and their families affected by breast cancer by providing invaluable physical, psychological, and emotional support from the time of diagnosis and throughout treatment.

Supporting us to raise funds for this great cause is easy and you can help the McGrath Foundation reach their goal of 250 nurses by 2025, to work towards ensuring no one misses out on care.

Thank you so much for your support.

We’re in the Pink!
