Pinktober 2026
I need your help to raise money to fund vital support services, prevention and research into breast and gynaecological cancers. As many of you would know, my mum has had breast cancer twice.
In 2014 I found out that like my mum, I carry the BRCA-2 gene.
A woman who tests positive for a BRCA mutation has an increased lifetime risk for breast and ovarian cancer and certain other cancers compared to women in the general population. With this gene mutation, my risk for cancer is 85%; it is however, possible to have a BRCA mutation and never develop cancer.
Pinktober is not about me. It is about all those women who do not have access to early intervention or detection and are relying on a cure.
In 2026, I will once again be wearing pink every day in October as part of my annual fundraising event, “Pinktober”. I would love you to sponsor my efforts – even $1 a day makes a big difference.
This year, approximately 17,600 women in Victoria will be diagnosed with cancer, and around 5,200 will die from the disease. More than 5,300 Victorian women will be diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancer.
However, thanks to wonderful generosity like yours, the rate of women dying from cancer is declining. Since 1994, the rate has been consistently decreasing by 1.4% per year.
Please support this in any way you can,
Thank you,
Amanda xx
