Get ready to turn your daily walk with your pet into a festival of pink, because the Cancer Council is calling on the Hunter Central Coast community show the power of pink by pawticipating in its inaugural Pets In Pink Fundraiser!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and normally a time of year where many people host PINK events to support people affected by women\u2019s cancer. Every day in Australia, 70 women are diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to some of the COVID restrictions still present in our community, Cancer Council NSW is doing something a little different and asking Hunter Central Coast pets and their humans to PINK it up to support the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is also an opportunity to honour and celebrate all pet owners and their cancer journeys by sharing their inspawrational stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jen Haynes, Community Relations Coordinator for Hunter Central Coast communities said they\u2019re excited to have pets involved this year, especially since they\u2019ve been so valuable during the pandemic, providing many benefits to our health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so excited about this fundraising initiative; it is full of joy and something that everyone can get involved in! As well as making us smile, our big or small, furry, or scaly friends can help us raise funds and awareness for women\u2019s cancers. We can\u2019t wait to see all of the pink pets across the Hunter Central Coast region,\u201d Ms Haynes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funds raised will help Cancer Council NSW continue to operate vital services and programs including financial support, in-home help, their 13 11 20 information and support line as well as funding life-saving research and cancer prevention programs to work towards a cancer-free future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
