n a world full of sickness, disease, and fresh pandemics, breast cancer still remains the most prevalent form of cancer in women in Australia—and the Burdekin Breast Cancer Awareness Group is doing its best to ensure that fact doesn’t get lost in the noise.
At 10am on July 5th, the group will host its first Biggest Morning Tea since before COVID at Dal Santo’s Deli, aiming to raise both funds and awareness for breast cancer research, as well as foster support for local women who struggle or have struggled with the disease.
The event, which was used to seeing packed houses and raising thousands of dollars pre-COVID, will this time feature two guest speakers from the Cancer Council in Townsville, who will provide further information on the Cancer Council’s services and how to access them.
A breast cancer survivor herself, Support Person and Founder of the Burdekin Breast Cancer Awareness Group, Shirley Gilmore, has spearheaded efforts to support the breast cancer community in the Burdekin.
“I started this group 28 years ago. I wanted to raise an awareness of cancer and breast cancer, and just to have answers there for people should they need them,” she says.
Shirley wants everyone to know that each donation helps in our quest for a cure.
“The more money we can raise, the more likely we will be to find a cure one day, I’m sure.”
Tickets for the event are available only at Selections (next-door to Amcal Chemist), and are out now!
