Our story
Did you know that over 20,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year? It is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia.*
That’s why Mater Chicks in Pink was created—so that no woman would have to go through breast cancer alone.
By joining the Sea of Pink this year, and fundraising for Mater Chicks in Pink, you will be helping these brave women?our mothers, daughters, sisters and friends–focus on the moments that matter most and alleviate some of the huge emotional and financial burden of a breast cancer diagnosis.
Your generous support will help to fund free, personalised and practical breast cancer support services, plus items such as mastectomy bras, wigs and scarves which create a positive, significant and real impact. Your support also enables investment in health technology and equipment which delivers rapid and potentially life-saving breast cancer testing, alongside critical advancement in breast cancer treatment.
With one in every four breast cancer patients in Queensland treated at a Mater hospital, your support really does matter! At Mater, collaborative work from world-class researchers and clinicians ensure critical new advancements, understandings and treatments of breast cancer are quickly translated from the research lab to a patient’s bedside.
