Celebrating the fantastic

Your gifts make a difference in people’s lives

BCNA was a great support to me through my breast cancer journey through being a base where I could go to find out information that I wanted to know about my own journey. I also received a My Care Kit which reassured me after my mastectomy that I would not be walking around lop sided and assisted me in feeling ‘whole’ again quickly. ~ Kate

I would like to thank you and your team so very much for the deeply comforting and informative support I have received over the last eighteen months during my breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery. I could not have made it through without the support that has been available through Breast Cancer Network Australia. ~ Helpline caller

I received my beautiful Berlei post-surgery bra. I just wanted to thank you so much. I am comfortable and able to walk around without bouncing my scar and stitches! ~ My Care Kit recipient

I would like to thank you for the support you provide when one finds herself with a breast cancer diagnosis. Also, a thank you to Berlei for their support and for the beautiful bra that I have received. To know that people care and are there to support me if needed in itself helps one feel more positive about what is ahead. ~ My Care Kit recipient
