Pink Ribbon Breakfast. We all got behind this important cause.

19/05/2026

🎀 On Thursday, all Coastal Medical clinics will be hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast to help raise awareness and support for breast cancer in New Zealand. 💗

For many within our Coastal Medical whānau, breast cancer has touched the lives of staff members, friends, and family. This makes the Pink Ribbon Breakfast especially meaningful as we come together to recognise the strength, courage, and resilience of those affected. 🌸

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer in Kiwi women, with 1 in 10 women diagnosed during their lifetime, and around 650 women in Aotearoa losing their lives to the disease every year. 💕🎗️

Together, we can help raise awareness, encourage early detection, and support the vital work of the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. 💖☕🌷

If you’re able to contribute, we’d greatly appreciate your support. Every donation, big or small, helps make a real difference for those affected by breast cancer across Aotearoa. 💗

I'm fundraising for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, to help fund breast cancer education, research and patient support. Please donate to help the 3,700 Kiwis diagnosed with breast cancer each year in NZ.
