I was diagnosed with early Breast cancer in January 2023. I'd found a lump just prior to Christmas. That lump turned out to be a cyst. But lurking in two other places was Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and DCIS, resulting in the need for a mastectomy.

During the diagnosing stage there were seven trips to Christchurch to get the full picture.. I live 4 hours away so I stayed with friends. A month after my initial mammogram my friend booked herself in for one too. That morning I had an MRI so she watched my children. In the afternoon she had her mammogram. On 3 March I had my mastectomy. 9 March my friend had a lumpectomy.

In some awful twist of fate, we both had breast cancer! So my friend, her husband and I did the 2023 walk together.

Transfer funds raised at your fundraiser

Have you got cash or money that you’ve raised at an event, or offline that you need to transfer to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ?

You can get it to us by bank deposit or using your credit card.

1. Bank deposit

You can transfer the funds using internet banking or deposit the money you’ve raised at any ASB branch. Either way, you must use your personalised reference number, below, so we know it’s from you. Once you’ve transferred the money raised, there’s nothing else you need to do. When we receive your deposit, we’ll add this amount to your online fundraising page (this might take a few days).

Account name: Breast Cancer Foundation NZ

Account number: 12-3030-0534226-00

Personalised reference number: BCF0

2. Credit card

You can use the form below to transfer funds raised to the Foundation using a credit card. This will be automatically added to your online fundraising page straight away and is the quickest way to get your donation on your page.

There are two options when using your card:

You can enter someone else’s details and it will send them a donation receipt. This is a great option if someone has donated cash at your event and has asked for a receipt.
You can transfer all money collected at the event and not receive a donation receipt. Just select “I’m transferring money I’ve raised” and pop your own details into the form.
