Paekākāriki Pink Breakfast-9.30am, Saturday May 23rd, St Peters Hall

Tickets $20 or $10 for 10 years and under.   Cash only sales at Finns in Paekākāriki, or make an equivalent donation right here, and leave a comment saying you'd like to come to the breakfast.

We're a small group hosting a big breakfast in our beautiful village on the Kapiti Coast near Wellington. We've all been impacted by breast cancer in one way or another. We want to support this kaupapa, for us, our loved ones, and for all the communities impacted. 

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. 

Breast Cancer Foundation makes a real difference in the lives of those who have breast cancer, and in lobbying for change that will help have zero deaths from breast cancer in Aotearoa.

What an amazing event and some more thank yous

Our event was yesterday and what an amazing thing that was. We were running the event around full time jobs and were so overwhelmed with generosity from raffle prize donors that we haven't mentioned yet.

Thanks to Hair by Merel, Merel is a lovely soul, washed and dried my hair for free when I had just had breast cancer surgery knowing it would be tricky for me, has given me some fantastic haircuts.
Thank you Merel. Now working from 1/3 Beach Road, Paekākariki. Hair by Merel
