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.

“Zero emissions” requires no diesel, petrol or gas-fuelled cars, trucks, tractors or dozers and no burning of coal or gas for electricity generation.
But without nuclear power or a massive increase in hydro-electricity, green energy will not support metal refining or manufacturing, and domestic electricity usage will be rationed.
Zero emissions will also force closure of most cement plants, mechanised farms and feed lots and will demand nuclear or wind-powered submarines, destroyers and bulk carriers.
In the zero emissions world there can be no diesel buses, oil-powered cruise liners or jet aircraft (except fleets of climate comrades attending endless UNIPCC conferences).
