Pink lends her strength to Breast Cancer

Pink lends her strength to Breast Cancer Pink joins forces with the Pink Lady bringing two hot pinks together in support of breast cancer Pop sensation P!nk has stepped up in support of Australians affected by breast cancer.

In what is a major coup for Breast Cancer Network Australia the star and the larger than life inflatable Pink Lady, the symbol of the BCNA and women living with breast cancer, joined forces backstage for a photo shoot. P!nk stood proudly with the Pink Lady to highlight the importance of support for all those affected by the disease. P!nk's personal show of support provides a powerful boost not only to women living with breast cancer, but to all those affected when someone close to them is diagnosed with the disease.

"A breast cancer diagnosis is traumatic not only for the woman herself, but also for her immediate family, and circle of friends." said Breast Cancer Network Australia's CEO Lyn Swinburne. "Seeing a huge star like P!nk demonstrate her care and concern for women with breast cancer means an enormous amount. As a woman of strength, P!nk's support for BCNA also sends a strong message to the women about the power of using their voice. "

P!nk's show of support co-incides with a major milestone for BCNA's flagship My Journey Kit, which has now been sent to more than 40,000 Australian women diagnosed with breast cancer since it was launched in 2004.

The My Journey Kit is an invaluable resource pack which provides information and practical advice for women diagnosed with early breast cancer. It is provided free of charge following a breast cancer diagnosis by calling 1 300 78 55 62 or at www.bcna.org.au

Most Australians have been in some way touched by breast cancer whether it is through the diagnosis of a direct family member, friend or colleague. Knowing there is information and support available can make a huge difference when dealing with the uncertainty that comes with a breast cancer diagnosis.

BCNA not only provides a voice for Australians affected by breast cancer but is a vital source of information and support offering resources for the woman diagnosed, and for family and friends. For further information visit www.bcna.org.au
