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.

What might be helpful for guests

A few more spaces so please do ask if you have a friend wanting to come.
A torch or headlight would be helpful to those here before daylight.
Boots and jacket for those who might go for a walk on farm / bush while here, with or without me (This can be later in morning if preferred.  I cannot "guide" before 10am unless all guests agreeable).
4wd can park / drive out through paddock.  At top, left of house, gate open.  *Can be greasy if wet.

Some Wairio Hack Club volunteers rode to Oreti hut taking in fencing equipment and lunch. We returned home with photos, memories, happy horses and pride in creating a paddock for others to enjoy using.
