I'm taking part in the Pink Ribbon Walks for the nine women diagnosed with breast cancer each day in New Zealand, including family and friends of mine.

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.

Perhaps you'd like to donate to raise funds for life-saving education, life-changing patient support and ground-breaking medical research. 

But most importantly... have a regular mammogram - they are free every two years if you are between the ages of 45-69 with BreastScreen Aotearoa!
