Kiwi celebrity chef Annabel White is encouraging people in Gisborne to host a Pink Ribbon Breakfast to support women affected by breast cancer.

Pink Ribbon Breakfast is Breast Cancer Foundation NZ’s largest annual fundraising campaign.

Each May thousands of Kiwis come together for good to raise vital funds for the charity.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer for New Zealand women, with around 40 women in the Tairāwhiti area diagnosed with it annually.

The money raised from every Pink Ribbon Breakfast goes towards ground-breaking research, awareness and education programmes, and patient support services.

Ms White says the cause is close to her heart after a close family member was diagnosed and then successfully treated for breast cancer.

“Fundraising for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ is such a good idea and spreading the message of early detection is key.

“Hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast is easy and fun and the perfect way to show some love in these crazy times we’re living in!”

Breast Cancer Foundation NZ chief executive Ah-Leen Rayner says it doesn’t matter if your Pink Ribbon Breakfast is big or small, fancy or casual, homemade or store-bought,

“Every effort makes a big difference for women living with breast cancer.

Your generosity will take us closer towards our ambitious vision of zero deaths from breast cancer, so please, sign up to host a Pink Ribbon Breakfast this May.’’
