We have a date!!! The Field of Women is back, and we want you to join us

On Sunday 20 August, before the Round 23 AFL Pink Lady match between Melbourne and Hawthorn, over 10,000 people will walk onto the hallowed turf of the MCG to form the Pink Lady.

It’s been five years since the last Field of Women and we can’t wait to stand together once again, united in support of everyone affected by breast cancer and remember those we have sadly lost.

Pre-sale tickets are available for a limited time at 10 per cent off the standard ticket prices. Buy tickets at https://www.fieldofwomen.org.au

    Blossom1961 & Mez_BCNA -  I agree, it was stifling and hot on the field for so long.  It was a fantastic day, and so much love and support to everyone on the FFFFF cancer journey.

    @Blossom1961  thats a great suggestion as I was also feeling past my expiry date in the sun.   My mum was struggling with her knees standing for a little while.      It was a great day Mez.   Congratulations to all involved organizing the event.

    I would have another suggestion the chemist warehouse free show bag -they were not giving them out until 1.45pm.    By 1.45pm I was near gate 7 and to go all the way back to the lawn / activity area was not physically possible.   A lady I was chatting to in the line even suggested if we had perhaps been given a voucher from chemist warehouse with our ticket we could have then popped into a chemist warehouse to collect them.

    @Blossom1961 will pass on the feedback to the Field of Women team as I know the sun did shine brightly when it was time for everyone to stand on the field. Glad you had a good day too. I feel very honoured to have been part of it

    @Mez_BCNA I am not sure if the Melbourne FC will allow it, but next year could we access the field from both sides to make it quicker. I started to fill unwell standing in the sun for that length of time and there were others in the early stages of treatment so standing in the sun would not have been good for them. It was a good day.

    @iserbrown It is in Victoria. We will have decent weather for part of the day. Four seasons a day.
