We are going pink for Mum

By Jen Appleton

Now I really am speechless!

I cant believe I am writing this, after starting with a fundraising goal of $500, Emma and I are now nearing our latest goal of $5000! Emma and I have been really touched by everyones generosity and support and my amazing mum is definitely feeling the love too. 
I want to send a special thank you to my brother Ben, who got the AIPES NFT community on board and raised $1686. I dont really know what NFTs are, but thankfully you do and have used it to support a great cause, so thank you xox

WE are going pink for mum!

So one week out from going pink, I have a team mate in this adventure! The beautiful Emma is going to be dyeing her hair pink too so we can spread the word about the McGrath Foundation and the importance of early detection. 

I have also raised my fundraising goal again, this time to $2000! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, it really means the world to me xox

Thank you so much!

I am so blown away, after only a few hours I have already surpassed my $500 fundraising goal! Thank you for everyone who has donated to this cause close to my heart. I have now raised my fundraising goal to $1000. Thank you everyone xox

Pink is the colour of care

Each October is breast cancer awareness month. This year it means more than usual as my beautiful mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in August and will start radiotherapy in October. We have been lucky as they caught it early and she had successful surgery, but that is not the case for everyone.

To say thank you for the support mum has received throughout everything, I will be dyeing my hair pink to raise money for the Mcgrath Foundation so they can continue to provide breast care nurses free of charge for people diagnosed with breast cancer throughout Australia. 

McGrath Breast Care Nurses help  individuals and their families affected by breast cancer by providing invaluable physical, psychological, and emotional support from the time of diagnosis and throughout treatment.

I'm aiming to raise $2000 so please donate if you can, but if you cant, then please just check your boobs and get regular mammograms when you are eligible

Thank you so much for your support and I promise to post pictures of my pink hair on 1 October.

The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members. It is a privilege for the AIPES NFT Project to be able to contribute to such a wonderful cause.

What a wonderful and caring daughter you are Jen, bless you hun💕 So glad Mum was diagnosed early through her own awareness and importance of self checking of breast and mammography. Better yet is the fabulous treatment and ongoing care she’s receiving from a dedicated multi disciplinary team of health professionals. Naturally I’m biased toward the breast care nurses. Send a pic of your pink hair .

I’m a friend of Ben’s, and just wanted to wish you luck through this tricky time. We went through it with my mum, and it’s not easy, and there’s a lot of fear and discomfort throughout the process. Remember to reach out for support - by the looks of all these donations you’ve got a great network who will help you all through it. Everything crossed for your mum.
