Melbourne Community Liaison Training
Had to say what a great time it was in Melbourne for the past two days! I met 15 others who were amazingly inspirational, gracious and supportive and are now my "new best friends". The days were planned so well and we learnt so much about BCNA, each other and ourselves. The staff that work for BCNA are so special, we all…

I didn't know what to expect, but I left there in a better "place" than when I arrived - if that makes sense. I was interested in Community Liaison and…

Shane (or Crawf as we now call him! ) is donning pink joggers and running from Adelaide to Melbourne to raise money for BCNA. It was at the Channel Nine's Pink…

In the past our ladies have met for morning tea - the theme of the day being pink - and walked down the main street to the park by the lake holding our pink ladies. After a short ceremony we plant our pink ladies in a heart shape which has been sprayed on the…

Tasmanian's attend the Field in 2010
Over two months have passed by since I attended the 2010 Field of Women. My husband accompanied me and I was contacted by our local ABC radio while walking onto the Field. They were requesting a live radio interview - something which I had never done in my life and I felt quite daunte. The radio interview went successfully…
