Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation Ladies Lunch

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker I acknowledge the incredible efforts of the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation. The Foundation raised a staggering $375,000 at its annual Ladies Lunch, which celebrated its 20th year and focused on raising funds for tangible support for those facing breast cancer, including research, specialist equipment, and patient services. The lunch originated as a place for breast cancer patients to get together, share their experiences, and support each other through their journeys. It has blossomed into such a vibrant event that still holds human connection and support at its core. I was in awe of all the stunning fashion on display featuring some iconic Australian brands, including Carla Zampatti and Rachel Gilbert, modelled by breast cancer survivors. I want to acknowledge the remarkable work of the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation and its continued efforts to support those impacted by breast cancer. I congratulate Breast Cancer Foundation Ambassadors MC Jessica Rowe and Angela Bishop for leading such a successful event. Finally, I want to acknowledge the efforts of Mosman Local and Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation Chair Lynne Crookes OAM. I look forward to continuing to support the Foundation and its incredible work.
