This October, we
are sharing your stories to remind everyone that every breast cancer story is
different #notjust1in8.
Breast cancer doesn’t care if you are fit and healthy, living with a
disability or your cultural background. Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate. To share your story visit notjust1in8.
News & events
The BCNA website has a designated section to all local community events that are happening around Australia. To find out what’s happening in your area for the month of October click here.
Our Inspired
Adventures campaign is heating up for 2017 with Tuscany and Larapinta both
full, but we have one last trip to tempt you. Iconic.
Formidable. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World…and we’re going
there! Join us at the world famous Grand Canyon in October 2017 for an
experience you will never forget. You will
push yourself as you hike to the rim of the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon, explore
Havasupai, crossing tropical streams, clamber up side canyons with red rock
walls, and perhaps swim beside a 200 ft. waterfall. After the
trekking is done, immerse yourself in the vibrant hub that is Las Vegas!

As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Week in South Bank, Brisbane, restaurants, cafés and bars are inviting everyone to Dine Pink as a
way to support Australians living with breast cancer. If you live in Brisbane you may like to head down to Stanley Street Plaza during the week where a moving ‘Survivor Gallery’ will be installed on the walls, featuring the personal stories of breast cancer survivors. These raw accounts are poignant, courageous and utterly inspiring. To find out more information click here.
