Brighid Shelton

Pink Ribbon Walk 2024 - Auckland

Im taking part in honour of my mum - she was a true legend

Marée Anne Shelton (née Hume) 

An amazing woman who always found a way to make things work and loved fiercely. 

She was diagnosed in 2010 with a singular breast tumour. After removal, chemo and radio therapies she was given the all clear. 

A few years later it came back and much worse. 
We threw everything we could at the cancer over the years but she was given an expected amount of time left. 

She chose to put her kids first and move us to the Uk to seek more treatments to extend her life. She knew she couldn’t save herself but she would put herself through medical hell to ensure her 3 daughters had their mother for as a long as possible. 

That decision gained her an extra 3 years of life with her family and we are so grateful for her sacrifices. She protected us and nurtured us to be the strong independent and incredibly funny women that we are today. 

In her honour, we are raising funds for those affected by breast cancer who don’t have the Privilege  to head overseas for treatment. Aotearoa needs a bug helping hand to start looking after our cancer patients better and you can be part of the change!
