💗 Pink Hero of the Month: Wendy 💗

Meet Wendy, this month's Pink Hero, whose fundraiser was about more than raising money. It was a way to say "thank you".

After being diagnosed with breast cancer for a third time, Wendy is now living with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Faced with another difficult chapter, she decided to turn her experience into hope by raising funds for breast cancer research.

Having experienced chemotherapy-related hair loss before, Wendy decided to shave her head and embrace the challenge once again. Inspired by the potential of research to change future outcomes, she launched a fundraiser aptly named 'Doing It for the Next Generation'.

The event was a heartfelt thank you to the family, friends, colleagues and loved ones who have supported her and generously donated to the cause throughout her journey. In a touching show of support, her friend's 17-year-old son and her best friend's husband shaved their heads alongside her.

When asked about the most significant moment in her breast cancer journey, Wendy's answer was simple but powerful: "Realising just how loved I am and how many people I have supporting me every step of the way."

Thanks to the generosity of her community, 'Doing It for the Next Generation' raised an incredible $3,924 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

While Wendy knows research may not change her own diagnosis, she hopes it will help create a brighter future for the next generation facing breast cancer.

Thank you, Wendy, for your courage, generosity and determination to make a difference. You are a true Pink Hero. 💖✨

Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women in Australia.

Prevention is the first powerful step in ending deaths from breast cancer. The more research we fund, the more we can prevent breast cancer, the more lives we save.

Each person’s breast cancer risk is shaped by a unique mix of genetics, biology, lifestyle and environmental factors.

We invest in world-class research focused on precision prevention: to better understand personal breast cancer risk, identify opportunities to reduce that risk, and stop the development of breast cancer – leading to fewer diagnoses and fewer deaths from breast cancer.

By making prevention one of our four core research objectives in our Pink Horizon Research Strategy, we can move closer to a future with Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

Why are some younger women at greater risk of developing breast cancer? Researchers like Professor Ian Campbell are working to find the answers. 🧬

Based at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and funded by NBCF, Professor Campbell is investigating the genetic factors that contribute to early-onset and pregnancy-associated breast cancer.

His team are using the latest whole genome sequencing technologies, which allow researchers to read a person's complete DNA code, to analyse breast cancer samples and identify new genes that may increase breast cancer risk in younger women.

By uncovering these missing genetic puzzle pieces, this research could improve the identification of people with increased risk, inform prevention strategies, and ultimately improve outcomes for those affected by breast cancer.

Meet Destiny 💕

Destiny took on the Great Ocean Road Running Festival in honour of her best friend, Meags, who sadly passed away due to Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) in 2025.

To Destiny, Meags was far more than a friend; she was a mentor, a mother figure and one of her greatest supporters. Despite her diagnosis, Meags never lost her passion for wellbeing. She continued to embrace movement, meditation and positivity whenever she could, inspiring those around her with her strength and resilience.

Now, every kilometre Destiny runs is dedicated to Meags and the life she lived.

"Meags encouraged me to discover my passion for running and became one of my biggest cheerleaders. Even when she was too unwell to attend my races, she never stopped supporting me from home."

By fundraising for NBCF, Destiny is helping fund world-class breast cancer research so that together, we can move closer to our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.
