I’m part of the International Women’s Day Fun Run!
A phone call a number a years ago will always be in my head. "I know you don't like wearing pink, but can you wear some today, even if it is just your undies!!". This is the message I received from a good friend as I arrived at work.
I quickly rang her number and no answer. I then rang her husband and in my usual tone said, "what the f#$@ is going on??".
He replied calmly, "yes it's true. She is heading into surgery today for a double mastecomy"
She was in her early 30's, had two small children and I was raising mine kilometres away. She has an amazing fighting spirit and is still here to give me lots of sass and cheek.
So now I'm raising funds to support women with breast cancer now and into the future.
By making a donation, you can play a part in improving treatments and care for women diagnosed with breast cancer.
When you donate, you’re helping to support counselling services and supply practical items like mastectomy bras and wigs after surgery and chemotherapy.
You’ll also be supporting world leading research that focuses on improving survival rates and working towards a world where ALL women diagnosed with breast cancer survive.
Ultimately, you’ll help make life easier for women with breast cancer today and save more lives tomorrow.
Please, if you possibly can, will you donate today?
So far this year I have helped raise money for:
0
mastectomy
bras
