JO – Survivor
I had breast cancer in 2012, and in January 2014 I had to have my two year scans. At this time I also had to have a hysterectomy, with 6 weeks off work, 3 of them unpaid. I realised that I could not afford to have the mammogram and ultrasound. I’ve known the amazing women who started Young Pink…
ANDY – Husband of Survivor
To the wonderful people at Young Pink Sisters, I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful gift, of a wheelchair, which my beautiful wife needed so badly.

I was so stressed that I had a bit of a whinge on the YPS Facebook group and not long after I was contacted by a member who told me of the charity they run.

MARIA JURKOVIC– Survivor
Thank you Pink Sisters At the age of 31 with 2 young children my world fell apart when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2016, I stopped working immediately to have surgery and treatment.

CHRISTIE WOOD – Survivor
To the young pink sisters charity. A huge thankyou to you on helping my family when we needed it. As a young mum, my world was turned upside down when I learned that my cancer had returned. I went from full time employment to nothing in a very short space of time. To top it all off, my local country hospital charges for…
