Whyalla Pink Spirits Breast Cancer Support Group

Whyalla Pink Spirits have much that has happened since our last posting.......We have been a very busy group, who all work well together for the benefit of our Members.

We receive a great deal of support from the public & from businesses, which we are very grateful for.

We meet every Friday afternoon.  Alternately at the Sundowner Motel/Hotel in their dining room - for afternoon tea (which costs us $7.00 per person) 2pm til 4pm & the other Friday in the Vicki Ledo meeting room at the Whyalla Library from 1pm til 4pm.

Because of the support that we receive we have been able to donate quite a lot to the Whyalla Hospital.....Lymphoedema night wraps for breast cancer patients, pulse hand held lasers for lymphoedema clients, breast forms - for educational purposes - to the McGrath Breast Care Nurse, also chilly towels to be given to breast cancer clients - through the nurse....3 blood pressure machines for the Chemotherapy Unit, a huge part of the cost of a Cooling Cap Machine for the Chemo Unit -

We fund & operate our "Hair to Help" Wig Lending Library which is housed at the Whyalla Hospital...... We are very proud of the fact that clients now have a selection of 180 + wigs to choose from. We operate on an APPOINTMENT ONLY basis.

Because we are such a successful support group and because we are the only support group in Whyalla - we have recently opened our group up to other Ladies going through ANY type

of cancer who might like some emotional support to help them through.
