In admiration and tribute to one of our community champions - Amber Whalan. Mum to Ollie (14), Hazel (12) and Chase (10), a loved daughter, sister, friend and mad Dee’s supporter. Amber died yesterday, aged 38.
These are always the days that bring our disease into reality for us all. Her words will continue to have an impact and make a difference. Her story connected with so many people across our Network. We know that sharing your experience is not always easy but certainly sends a message of strength to our community. We are forever grateful for the role Amber played and how her legacy will live on.
"BCNA reminded me that seeking help isn’t a weakness. It’s a form of strength. And in a world where cancer can make you feel like you’re fighting alone, finding a network that gently says, “We’re here. We get it. And we’re not going anywhere,” can mean everything” - Vale Amber.
If you or someone you know has been affected by breast cancer or cares for someone with a diagnosis, support is available. Contact the BCNA Helpline on 1800 500 258.
