Crawf's Angels
What do you give someone who is running over 700km to support Australians with breast cancer? I recalled a lovely, tiny angel I was given for good luck when I was diagnosed last year. So, I gave Crawf the angel on his birthday when he visited Nhill. I wanted to 'pay it forward' ... I wanted the angel to bring him luck for…

A very 'pinked-up' Nhill gave Shane Crawford a warm welcome

I am completely in awe of this man and the challenge he has so willingly undertaken to raise funds for BCNA. As a volunteer with BNCA it was a privilege to…

After my training in Melbourne last month I delivered my first talk to a group of over 70 people today and think it went well. We want to spread the word and support those that feel they can benefit from BCNA.

Lyn (and setting up BCNA,) me, (and my contact with BCNA and receipt of the My Journey Kit etc) and Meg, and the Young Women's Gold Coast days. Before I left home I had a long look…
