In New Zealand Breast Cancer far outweighs all other cancers for both Māori and non-Māori women.
Breast cancer awareness month aims to educate and encourage women to take charge of their Breast health, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
There is a nationwide appeal, with Auckland running a virtual Pink Ribbon walk on Sunday 31 October.
Many of our school community, our teachers, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and daughters have benefited from early cancer detection provided by mammogram screening. Education on early detection and funding for research are essential to find effective ways to prevent and treat breast cancer. Talking about breast health and supporting events to raise funds, help all our community who are affected by this disease.
