THE Bellarine Women\u2019s Network\u2019s second Pink Ribbon Breakfast in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation has raised $1,700.<\/p>\n
Held at Rockwall @ The Pier Portarlington on October 11, the event was a sell out and a delicious breakfast was enjoyed by all while listening to an informative and interesting talk by guest speaker Michelle Edwards, a McGrath breast care nurse.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe total raised for NBCF by ticket sales, mystery envelopes and raffle was $1700 – well exceeding the organising committee\u2019s expectations,\u201d organiser Karen Coulson said.<\/p>\n
The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is the only national body that funds life-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public.<\/p>\n
Breast cancer is the most common life-threatening cancer facing Australian women, with approximately eight women dying from the disease each day.<\/p>\n
Research is the only way to prevent deaths, and improve how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated.<\/p>\n
By funding world-class research, NBCF is working towards a goal of zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you to all our generous sponsors and all that attended to make this another great event,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
