💗 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 💗

Today we say goodbye to a woman who was so much more than an extraordinary voice and songwriter.

Dolly Parton represented kindness, generosity, humour, resilience and community. She never forgot where she came from, she gave generously without needing recognition, championed literacy and children, supported healthcare and stood beside people when they needed it most.

And perhaps that’s why her passing feels personal to so many of us.

At Pink Finss, we understand the power of simply showing up for people. Of using what you have to make someone else’s road a little easier. Of bringing light and laughter into some of life's hardest moments. Dolly lived those values on an enormous scale.

She once said, “If you see someone without a smile, give them yours.”

What a beautiful way to live.

Thank you, Dolly, for the music, the laughter, the sparkle and, most importantly, the heart. You felt like an old friend to generations of us.

Rest peacefully, Dolly. The world is a little less colourful today. 💗✨

🌼 𝟒𝟎 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐃𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐋 𝐃𝐀𝐘 🌼

Today marks an incredible 40 years of Daffodil Day … 40 years of hope, research, progress and people coming together to change the future of cancer.

And what a difference those 40 years have made. 💛

Thanks to decades of research and fundraising, we’ve seen extraordinary advances in early detection, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapies and immunotherapy.

Cancers that once had very limited treatment options can now, for many people, be treated more effectively, giving people more time, better quality of life and, in many cases, the chance of a cure.

At Pink Finss, we see firsthand that there is still so much more to do. Cancer continues to turn lives and families upside down every single day.

That’s why research matters.
That’s why fundraising matters.
And that’s why that little yellow daffodil still matters. 🌼

Today we celebrate 40 years of progress and everyone who has donated, volunteered, researched, cared and helped make that progress possible.

Here’s to the next breakthrough. The next treatment. The next life changed. 💛

LOOKING BACK 💗

Five years ago, we shared part of this beautiful woman’s story.
Today, we’re sharing it again but this time, in her own words.

And her words say more than we ever could…

“Having cancer is lonely. It was especially lonely going through treatment during COVID.
It’s been five years now, yet some days I can still remember it all so clearly —the surgeries, the chemotherapy, the radiation and the months that never seemed to end.
But what I remember most, every single day, is the incredible support from my family, my friends and the amazing women at Pink Finss.
I don’t think a cancer diagnosis ever truly leaves you. It just sits quietly in the background, reminding you from time to time of what you’ve been through.
People often tell me I was brave. The truth is, I don’t think I was. I think when you’re faced with something like cancer, you simply do everything you can to survive. Maybe that’s what bravery looks like.

Cancer actually kicked my butt into doing the things you really want to do NOW and not wait for a right time.

I don’t wait for anything anymore…

If you’re struggling, please reach out. Make the phone call. Accept the help. Find your village of supporters.
None of us are meant to do this alone.”

Five years on. 💗
This is why community matters. Why support matters. Why simply being there matters.
And why Pink Finss will continue to be there through treatment, beyond treatment and through all the moments in between.

None of us are meant to do this alone. 💕

Imagine being diagnosed with cancer whilst in the middle of a pandemic. First you are faced with the shock of your diagnosis, then the uncertainty about what your future looks like, and then you are told you are facing months of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation ALONE.

💗 Two Years of Driving Hope

Two years ago, Pink Finss launched our Transport Service to ensure no one in the Hawkesbury had to worry about getting to their cancer treatment or medical appointments.

Today, with just one dedicated vehicle, Matilda, it has become our largest service offering. In the past financial year alone, Matilda completed an incredible 480 trips, helping clients access the care they need while reminding them they're never alone.

Every journey is made possible by our amazing volunteer drivers, who generously give their time to support others with kindness and compassion.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to our major Transport Program sponsors, McDonald Contracting and Country Lane Conveyancing. Their ongoing support keeps Matilda on the road and this vital service available to our community.

Together, we're doing so much more than providing transport—we're delivering care, connection and hope, one journey at a time. 💕

Today was a very emotional day as I said goodbye to an incredible surgeon and an even more incredible person.

After 18 years, my final visit with Dr Harvey Stern marked the end of a chapter that began when I was just 35 years old, following my breast cancer diagnosis.

From my double mastectomy and reconstruction, to regular yearly check-ups, and then more surgery just two years ago, we’ve been through so much together. Through every stage, I have always known I was in the very best hands.

There are some people who come into your life during your darkest moments and leave a lasting impact. Dr Stern has been one of those people for me. His skill, compassion, reassurance, and genuine care has helped me navigate a journey that, at times, felt overwhelming.

As he retires this month, I simply want to say thank you. Thank you for giving me confidence, hope, and the highest level of care over the past 18 years. I will always be grateful for everything you’ve done—not only for me, but for the countless women and families whose lives you’ve touched.

Wishing you a wonderful retirement, Dr Stern. You have made an extraordinary difference to so many lives, and your legacy will live on through every patient you’ve cared for. Thank you for being such an important part of my journey. 💗

💗 Welcome AJ Insurance Services as a Corporate Sponsor of our Return to Exercise Program! 💗

This partnership will help fund a vital service that enables our clients to regain a sense of normality during treatment, post-treatment and beyond, while supporting both their physical and mental wellbeing.

But this program is about more than exercise – it's about connection. It provides a safe and supportive space where people can connect with others who truly understand the challenges of returning to exercise after a cancer diagnosis.

Thank you, AJ Insurance Services, for helping us continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by cancer in the Hawkesbury. 💕
