This is your sign to check in on someone you care about. Not just “how are you?”, but also “have you checked your breasts this month?”

Because looking out for each other includes this too. 💗

Send someone this post to remind them to check their breasts.

Yesterdays Budget announcement included an additional $54 million for Pharmac over four years, but for many people with breast cancer, it won’t change the reality they’re facing right now.

Too many New Zealanders are still being forced to self-fund life-changing breast cancer medicines, drain their savings, fundraise publicly, or go without treatment altogether.

Some of these medicines have already been assessed by Pharmac as cost-effective, yet they remain out of reach for many patients.

At Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, we know this isn’t just about funding. It’s about people having more time, better quality of life, and access to the treatment they need when they need it.

We welcome investment in Pharmac, but keeping the system afloat is not enough. New Zealanders deserve sustainable long-term investment in cancer medicines and better access to treatment.

We will continue advocating for every person affected by breast cancer.

We’re shining a light on our newest Pink Ribbon Breakfast sponsor, Whole Harry Wholefoods - a small family-run business on a mission to bring truly delicious wholefoods to everyday New Zealanders.

Breast cancer has touched the Whole Harry family in a deeply personal way, with mums, sisters, aunts and mothers-in-law all navigating diagnosis and treatment. That’s why their support of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ means so much to us.

To support Pink Ribbon Breakfast, they’ve released a limited edition Pink Ribbon maple syrup and it’s available now. Get in quick before it’s gone 👀🩷

At age 50, Pamela received a shock diagnosis of breast cancer following a routine mammogram. Following intense treatment, she began hormone therapy in 2022 to reduce the risk of cancer returning.

"Nurse support boosted my sense of 'I’ve got this!'

💗 It's only thanks to your amazing support, this impactful nurse support possible. 💗

Pamela's story shows how the long-term task of hormone therapy is less daunting with support. Read more about her story here: https://ow.ly/3XVc50YUPnO

Like many of you all over the motu, our team is incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of our iconic Dame Jools Topp.

A cherished New Zealand icon, Jools was a passionate supporter of the breast cancer community and helped raise awareness across New Zealand for many years. Her openness, strength and enduring sense of humour touched so many lives.

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity, courage and compassion she brought to the breast cancer community.

Sending our love to her family, friends and everyone across Aotearoa mourning her loss.

Two minutes is all it takes to check in with your body.

The more you check your breasts, the more confident you’ll feel knowing what’s normal for you, and when something isn’t.

Touch. Look. Get checked. 🩷

Last year, our Pink Campervan took to the water - ferrying across to Waiheke Island for a day dedicated to local women’s health. 💗

We joined BreastScreen Aotearoa Auckland Central, Auckland Bowel Screening, and the Well Women & Family Trust at Waiheke Living for the day to deliver free a “Health WOF” for the community.

It's thanks to your incredible support, our Pink Campervan breast nurses were able to have these important conversations with wāhine about breast health, screening, and the small steps that save lives.

Yesterday, our Chief Executive, Ah-Leen Rayner, spoke at the Pink Ribbon Breakfast at Parliament about the urgent need to improve access to diagnosis for women eligible for breast screening who present with breast cancer symptoms.

Currently, women attending routine screening who report symptoms such as a lump are turned away and told to see their GP instead. Ah-Leen highlighted that enabling BreastScreen Aotearoa to refer these women directly to specialist services could remove up to eight weeks of delay, ease pressure on primary care, and help reduce inequities in access to diagnosis and treatment.

For anyone who has experienced the stress and uncertainty of waiting for answers, we know how important timely access to care can be. Earlier assessment means earlier reassurance, diagnosis, and treatment when needed.

If you notice changes in your breasts, such as a lump, thickening, skin changes, ni**le discharge, or persistent pain, don’t ignore them. Trust your instincts and seek medical advice.
