Hosting a pink fundraiser supports cancer fight
I am writing to encourage the community to help make a difference in the lives of mums impacted by cancer this Motherâs Day.
One in six Queensland women will be diagnosed with a breast or gynaecological cancer in their lifetime - these women are our mothers, sisters, daughters and friends.
Supporting is easy - you could turn Motherâs Day breakfast into a pink fundraiser or buy mum some pink ribbon accessories to don on the day, to help raise funds and awareness for womenâs cancers.
Every year, 4200 Queensland women are diagnosed with a breast or gynaecological cancer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
It is important to consider some important factors concerning traffic congestion that can be created from large events such as Beef Week.
I have seen our road networks come to almost a complete standstill from large volumes of traffic that can lead into crashes from impatient drivers taking unnecessary risks causing further chaos.
Try and minimise the risk by not using the roads in peak hour times such as school zone times and be prepared for considerable delays.
Plan your travel to utilise traffic lights as much as possible, to allow controlled excess into streets.
