Let’s help support this cause and make a difference

Share my page

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

I would love something positive to come from this journey I’m on. I’d love to make a difference to my daughter’s life and help someone out there detect this horrible disease sooner and ultimately make a difference. The support we receive when we’re on this journey is incredible and it’s provided through fundraising. So it would be fabulous if you could help me raise money to keep spreading the love and support that the professionals in this space provide. It means everything when you cross over to the other side and they wrap their arms around you to help you navigate this strange new world. 

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 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.

Increasing my target on Day 2

Thanks so much to your generosity, I am already increasing my original target of $1000!!

It makes me so happy we have already hit the $1000 mark on Day 2 and have already funded 8 hrs of Nurses in the pink campervan travelling the country to far flung places to help those in remote locations.

Bring on smashing the $2000 target :) 

Thank you to my Sponsors

When my Mum got diagnosed with breast cancer my heart broke and the support & care she received was phenomenal. I applaud your courage for turning such a horrible experience into an opportunity to support more women, their families and the teams that wrap their arms around them all! Thank you!!

Hi Jessica, I saw your post on LinkedIn. I've had breast cancer too, diagnosed at 39. It's a hard ride, but lots of people, such as myself, come out the other side. You are a lovely person to fundraise during your treatment. All the best
