Its not my way to complain but here I go.Today I received an invitation to go to hiking in Nepal with BCNA. Last year I received an invitation to a BCNA event. Both very expensive items. I have read for a year now the devastation breast cancer causes in people’s lives . I realise BCNA is a not for profit and need to fundraise. But I am disturbed for our membership on this blog it does seem a little - I dunno - insensitive and out of touch with the reality many on here face. Hiking in the Himalayas may not be an option for many trying to cope with treatment or recovering from it either financially or physically.

  • HI Romla I had the same reaction when I received those emails. I know the fundraising is essential for BCNA and I definitely appreciate the work they do and happy to support in the future. But right now financially I am unable to, as now on 75% of wage, and physically the Himalayas are a little beyond me!
  • Maybe Fundraising at BCNA needs to read about the Financial Information Forum mentioned above as well as the many physical struggles people discuss on this forum and trekking in Nepal may seem an odd choice.
