The C L Training in Melbourne in March (6th through to 8th incl.) saw only 14 of us attend......I believe the numbers were less than expected - with some last minute withdrawals.

What a great opportunity, to learn what remarkable resources are available for the person living with breast cancer. The BCNA team were terrific, all very dedicated & very ably led by the wonderful Janelle, who did a great job of chairing the entire Training.

The Founder of BCNA, Lyn Swinburne, is such an inspiring lady and the current CEO, Christine Nolan, is another tremendous ambassador....Was such a privilege to meet both ladies and to catch up with Marita (Queen of the Pink Bun Campaign) again

I am so thankful to have been invited to attend and I will do my utmost to enlighten my community whenever the chance arises.

    Hi Raelene,

    I just wanted to say it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and the rest of the women. With the help of our 14 new CL's we will be able to reach more people out in the community that need our support. I know that you will be an incredible CL :)

    If you need anything just let me know.

    Hi Raelene, it was so lovely to meet you at the training and to hear about what you are already doing in your community - fantastic!

    It was also such a great pleasure meeting all the other wonderful ladies and BCNA staff and finding out more about the resources and activities BCNA offers those affected by breast cancer. Like you, I feel very privileged to have had this opportunity and look forward to letting others in my area know about the support available.

    Best wishes, Jane xx
