People in Gisborne  are being urged to help “kick breast cancer to the kerb” this month by collecting for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ’s Pink Ribbon Street Appeal.

Around 10,000 volunteers will be hitting the streets all over New Zealand on Friday October 27 and Saturday October 28, raising vital funds for breast cancer research, education and patient support.

Breast Cancer Foundation NZ is still looking for more people in Gisborne to sign up for a two-hour collection shift.

Every year, around 40 women in Tairāwhiti are diagnosed with breast cancer.

“The Pink Ribbon Street Appeal is one of our biggest fundraisers and it couldn’t go ahead without all of our amazing volunteers,” said foundation chief executive Ah-Leen Rayner.

“As a charity doing vital work to stop Kiwis dying of breast cancer, we rely entirely on the goodwill of generous New Zealanders.

“By contributing just two hours of your time, you’ll be making a massive difference to help us to kick breast cancer to the kerb this Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

The deadline to sign up as a volunteer for the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal is midday on Thursday, October 26. Visit pinkribbonvolunteer.org.nz
