NEW ZEALAND BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION - BREAST CREAM

PROBLEM: Breast cancer, if detected early, does not have to be terminal. Women aren’t checking their breasts often enough.

IDEA: Partnered with Skin Food to create a moisturiser that is designed specifically to make women check their breasts for lumps a part of their regular beauty routine - a behavioural change that could potentially save thousands of lives. $2 from every sale will go directly to The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation to help education, innovation, research and support for women with breast cancer.

A clever print ad was also created, positioning Breast Cream as the first skin cream that gives you wrinkles—because, of course, using it might well allow you to live a much longer life.

RESULTS:

This year, myself and my partner are taking part in the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation's Pink Star Walk on October 4 and I would like to ask for your help in raising money for it.  

The cost of registration covers the cost of running the event, so ALL of the money donated will go towards the following:

Breast cancer research including The NZBCF’s Breast Cancer Patient Registers

Breast cancer awareness for early detection

Support for women recovering from or living with breast cancer

This cause is very close to my heart. In February next year, it will be five years since my mum passed away from breast cancer, after struggling with it for three years. I would love if you can donate so that fewer women have to struggle.

My goal is $600 - this will fund two women for 5 sessions of rehabilitation.

Thanks in advance for the support!

Sooooo I'm doing a TRIATHLON (my first real one so only a teeny bit terrifying) and raising money for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation and it would be freaking awesome if I could get some of Tumblr to help me reach my fundraising goal! This is an amazing charity and I'm stoked to be in a position to help them.
