I'm hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast for the ten women diagnosed with breast cancer each day in New Zealand.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Kiwi women. 1 in 10 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 hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast this year, to help change that.

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

Rae's diagnosis

In May 2020, just as COVID was spreading around the world, Rae presented at ED with shortness of breath. The doctors immediately put her in an isolation ward and donned their hazmat suits, but they soon realised it wasn't COVID but a pleural effusion around her right lung. That is, the lining around her lung was filled with liquid, making it harder to breathe. If it's around both lungs, it's probably a heart issue, but if it only affects one lung then it's probably cancer. Rae had been diagnosed stage 1 in 2016 and so the doctors knew - even though they didn't say so for several days - that it was now stage 4.
