The function was extremely successful in raising more than $110,000 and it couldn’t have been done without your willing support. Many people commented on how well you entertained the guests while extracting the best bids for the items auctioned; infact the total was far more than the organisers had hoped for.

Pathway found for Zero deaths by 2030
Saturday, 6 October 2018
At a breakfast function at the Weston Hotel in Martin’s Place, Sydney last Thursday the National Breast Care Foundation celebrated its 25th anniversary.
CEO Professor Sarah Hosking opened the breakfast announcing a ‘Big Audacious Goal’ of Zero deaths by 2030. This is a giant leap those with breast cancer but so was going to the moon in 1961.
The breakthrough is the ability to analyse proteins in a tumour and then establish an individual treatment pathway for each cancer sufferer. The group of some 350 guests hosted by NBCF ambassador Lisa Wilkinson were amazed by the findings of this research and pledged much needed funds for ongoing support of the program. #zeroby2030
