Could Tai Chi help manage breast cancer treatment side effects?

 

We're funding a new study exploring whether Tai Chi can be beneficial to patients being treated for breast cancer. This is one of the many research projects we're funding to help actively support patients and develop more effective breast cancer treatments. In 2018 we'll be making $1.26 million available for innovative new projects.

Free Counselling Vouchers

No one should have to go through a breast cancer diagnosis alone. If you feel talking to someone could serve you, please reach out. We have a number of free counselling vouchers for if you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer (recently or a long time ago), or if you’re receiving preventative treatment for increased breast cancer risk.

We wish to say an enormous thank you Farmers’ customers who purchased our Boobead keyrings or made an open donation in store during October, and Farmers for supporting our cause.

 

“This is an outstanding result” says BCFNZ Chief Executive, Evangelia Henderson, “I am so grateful to Farmers staff and customers for the phenomenal support you are providing. Year after year your amazing contributions make a real difference, helping us with our work in breast cancer support, education and research.

Sealybrity Designer Bed campaign delivers again!

The fight against breast cancer takes many forms, as bed manufacturer, Sealy New Zealand, has proved five years in a row with their inspired Sealybrity Designer Bed Campaign.
