The Mater Chicks in Pink International Women’s Day Fun Run last weekend in Mackay's Northern Beaches was the biggest yet, raising an incredible $6,245 to fight breast cancer across Queensland. Mater Mackay Chicks in Pink collected $4,194, while the Lazy Runners Club contributed $2,051.
Created to ensure no woman faces breast cancer alone, the event supports women—our mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends—by easing the emotional and financial burdens of diagnosis. Funds raised go towards free, personalised breast cancer support services and essential items like mastectomy bras, wigs, and scarves, making a significant impact on patients' lives.
Support also aids in investing in advanced health technology, providing rapid, potentially life-saving breast cancer testing, and accelerating treatment advancements. Mater’s collaboration with world-class researchers and clinicians ensures breakthroughs are quickly translated from lab to bedside.
Mater Foundation thanks the Mackay community for their phenomenal support and looks forward to next year’s event.
