A word from Breast Cancer Care WA CEO, Max Clarke
Breast Cancer Care WA delivers evidence-based information, wellness education and personalised support, including breast care nursing and counselling, to over 1,700 individuals and families yearly, throughout diagnosis, treatment and beyond, free of charge. Our vision is to ensure that all people living in WA have access to the best breast cancer support and education. We remain entirely funded by the generosity of fellow West Australians
Every day in Western Australia, 5 people face the heartbreaking news that they have breast cancer. Facing breast cancer affects everyone differently, and our clients come to us with diverse and complex needs. Our multidisciplinary team provides personalised support for each individual, working together to find solutions to the unique challenges they face. Our clients can access the expertise of a specialist breast care nurse or counsellor, as well as support groups, education, practical support, financial assistance, completely free of charge. This integrated approach allows us to smooth their path, alleviating stress during what is often the most challenging time of their lives.
We continue to expand our reach to include regional and remote areas, providing information and emotional support via telephone, video calls, webinars and online support groups. Our focus extends beyond treatment, empowering clients to thrive through our living well program.
Breast Cancer Care WA has been helping West Australians for over 23 years, and it would not be possible for us to offer this level of integrated care to our clients without the ongoing support we have received from the annual Boobalicious Ball. In 2023 alone, proceeds raised from the ball and the generosity of the WA community enabled us to provide support and care for 1,700 families affected by breast cancer in WA. It is no exaggeration to say that without the continuing support of the Boobalicious Ball, Breast Cancer Care WA would not exist today as we know it.
By sponsoring Boobalicious in 2024, you are directly helping your fellow West Australians who are doing it tough due to a diagnosis of breast cancer. Our heartfelt thanks to the team at Boobalicious for their phenomenal efforts in enabling Breast Cancer Care WA to provide our much-needed services. Your support is making a vital difference.
