October
Melbourne Breast Cancer Bra Walk
The Pinker Sisters invite you to join them at an event to raise awareness about breast cancer.
Our sister's breast cancer experience gave us a very real understanding of the challenges a woman faces as she navigates through treatment and beyond. Every step a woman takes requires care, sensitivity and support by those around her. We are passionate about helping women like our sister.
Our aim is to raise awareness of breast cancer within the community and to support Breast Cancer Network Australia as they work to ensure women diagnosed with breast cancer, and their families, receive the very best treatment, care and support possible, not matter who they are or where they live.
Date: Sunday, 30 October 2011
When: Registration at 9:30am - Walk at 10:00am
Where: The walk will begin at Federation Square, travel along Birrarung Marr, across Swan Street Bridge and travel back along the bank of the Yarra River finishing at Federation Square.
