Donate to Julie and help them hit their goal of $1000 ❤️

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

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.

Please help me
reach my goal!

God was my strength on my breast cancer journey .

In every tear, every anxious thought, and every doctor’s appointment, I prayed—and God answered with peace that passed all understanding.
God gave me the strength to face each day, even when I had none of my own. He worked through the kindness of health workers, the prayers of friends, and the support of my family. When I couldn’t find the words, He listened to the cries of my heart.
This journey was never easy. But it was filled with grace. In my weakness, His strength was made perfect. I am here today because of His love, His mercy, and His unwavering presence.
Looking back, I don’t just see a story of illness—I see a story of faith, hope, and healing. And I give God all the glory.

My Journey: From Diagnosis to Purpose - Giving back after Breast Cancer

Six years ago, I heard the words no one ever wants to hear: "You have breast cancer."
It was a life changing moment - full of fear, unknowns, and challenges. But thanks to the love and support around me, I got through it. And today, I'm proud to call myself a six-year survivor.
Now, it's my turn to give back.
I'm hosting a "Dance with Purpose: A Pink Ribbon Fundraiser".   An hour of Ballroom and Rock 'n' Roll Dancing at our Retirement Village to raise funds and celebrate life. This event is my way saying thank you to everyone who helped me through my journey and to support others who are still fighting.
Let's dance for a reason and make a difference!
