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.

Cupcakes & Coffee to spread the message.

When I was diagnoses with breast cancer, I think I went into shock. The utter disbelief of what was happening was incredulousness.   Suddenly I was outside my life looking in. The only other time I have even felt so out of control was after a loved one passed suddenly. Here too I sat watching unable to do anything, as the world moved on around me. 
I was too busy for this. I didn't have time to stop.  I had resigned from my job of 8 years to take on a new, exciting roles. I had a holiday planned with my eldest daughter. I was finally in that good space we all desire. Life was ok. Not perfect but yer not too bad. 
I sat in the hospital car park, overcome with fear, trepidation that I could barely conceive.  I have always advocated that things happen for a reason you need to look for those subtle signs. My girls now quote this back to me.  For some reason the first person I told was my older brother. I don't know why but messaged him something along the lines of 'why the F does this happen, haven't I been through enough, don't I deserve a break?' He rang instantly. I had surgery on Christmas eve.
The end of 2024 marks 5 years clear.
 I got lucky I know, and I am happy to talk about it. I am thankful for the support I received, there are some amazing people out there. 

Cupcakes and coffee is about stopping for a minute, we are all so busy. Stop, breather, smile. It really is worth it, you will be amazed at what you achieve by slowing down.
