all network members A big thank you to @socoda for bringing everyone together to share their
birthdays, such a lovely idea.
beautiful gift arrived at the BCNA support office on Wednesday and we were very excited. A big thank you
to the wonderful @Scorpionqueen for her incredible original drawing title “Pink
Trooper Boots”. This inspirational piece of art will now live
with us at the BCNA support office.
This October, we
are sharing your stories to remind everyone that every breast cancer story is
different #notjust1in8.
Breast cancer doesn’t care if you are fit and healthy, living with a
disability or your cultural background. Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate. To share your story visit notjust1in8.
News & events
The BCNA website has a designated section to all local community events thatare happening around Australia. To find out what’s happening in your area for the month of October click here.
Our Inspired
Adventures campaign is heating up for 2017 with Tuscany and Larapinta both
full, but we have one last trip to tempt you. Iconic.
Formidable. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World…and we’re going
there! Join us at the world famous Grand Canyon in October 2017 for an
experience you will never forget. You will
push yourself as you hike to the rim of the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon, explore
Havasupai, crossing tropical streams, clamber up side canyons with red rock
walls, and perhaps swim beside a 200 ft. waterfall. After the
trekking is done, immerse yourself in the vibrant hub that is Las Vegas!

As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Week in South Bank, Brisbane, restaurants, cafés and bars are inviting everyone to Dine Pink as a
way to support Australians living with breast cancer. If you live in Brisbane you may like to head down to Stanley Street Plaza during the week where a moving ‘Survivor Gallery’ will be installed on the walls, featuring the personal stories of breast cancer survivors. These raw accounts are poignant, courageous and utterly inspiring. To find out more information click here.
Our partners and supporters

us ensure we deliver our programs and services free of charge to Australians

Thank you for the kind words Ann-Marie, Cosette and team.....and not forgetting ALL of the Pink Troopers here in this forum! It was my pleasure to donate my artwork to this wonderful place.....I drew that picture in between my chemo treatments, when i was well enough to hold a pencil, so there is a lot of emotion, determination and hope tranferred into that artwork...I am soooooo happy that it will be hanging somewhere that it can share it's message, that Pink Troopers face their fears and never lose hope! Through the grey of diagnosis and treatments, hope, love and strength shines through! Sending love and light to all.... Xx<3Xx8
