PINKTOBER 2019 and Women in Super Mother's Day Classic 2019
Breast cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia. The Pinktober campaign aims to shine a spotlight on breast cancer awareness and highlight the work of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) in funding game-changing breast cancer research. Research that will help detect tumours earlier, improve outcomes and ultimately - save lives.
With 1 in 7 women and 1 in 675 men diagnosed in their lifetime, it’s a disease which we cannot ignore. But together, we can change the outcomes.
The 1st of October marks the commencement of Pinktober - breast cancer awareness month. To signpost this important annual event, prominent sites in Queensland and Tasmania will be lighting up pink to raise awareness for a disease which affects too many, too often.
Contact eventstas@gmail.com for more information or to suggest a site to be ‘pinked’.
Share your photos in October on social media at www.facebook.com/EventsTasmania and tag @NBCFAus in October, and @MDC-walk-run on 4 February 2019 and 12 May 2019.
More information about the life-changing research that NBCF funds can be found at: www.nbcf.org.au
