We are all facing significant challenges as we head into week 4 of the COVID-19 lockdown.
At Breast Cancer Cure we care deeply about the health of New Zealanders. We have postponed until the foreseeable future our Fashion for a Cure fundraising events. With more than 90% of our income dependent on events, this leaves Breast Cancer Cure and the life-saving medical research that we exist to fund, as well as lives saved, in a very vulnerable position.
As a result, we have launched a CURE CRISIS APPEAL to ensure we continue to support our scientists and their essential breast cancer research projects.
COVID-19 is an immediate and very real crisis - one we need to collectively fight. While we do that, we continue to lose close to TWO New Zealand women EVERY DAY to breast cancer.
We must fight both. More than ever, we need to ensure our researchers can continue their work.
