Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (18:27:20):

I acknowledge the incredible efforts of the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation, which recently raised an overwhelming $440,000 at its eighteenth Rugby Long Lunch, smashing its $400,000 goal. The Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness and funds in support of women and men with breast cancer. The foundation was established in 1995 by a group of passionate doctors, surgeons and advocates committed to supporting breast cancer patients by raising much‑needed funds in support of research, treatment and care. I make special acknowledgment of Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation Chair Lynne Crookes, OAM, and Mosman local and foundation director Catherine West for all of their work in seeking to improve the early detection of breast cancer, and raising the quality of life and survival rates of breast cancer patients. Once again, I congratulate the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation on all its amazing work. I loved joining its members at their wonderfully successful Rugby Long Lunch and I look forward to continuing to support their incredible work.
