I'm taking part in the Pink Ribbon Walks for my family, my friends, and the countless others that have been and will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

I have seen first-hand the challenges and difficulties breast cancer brings, and with diagnoses in the family, this is a matter close to my heart.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Kiwi women. 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with it in their lifetime. And 650 women in Aotearoa die from the disease every year.

That’s why I’m taking part in the Pink Ribbon Walk this year, to help change that.

Please donate to raise funds for life-saving education, life-changing patient support and ground-breaking medical research. Every step brings us closer to a day when there are zero deaths from breast cancer.
