Almost 50 years ago, Kate’s mum Kathleen died from breast cancer aged 42, when Kate was just eight years old. She left behind three daughters, all of whom would go on to develop breast cancer – and survive.
“The clear difference between me and my mum was that I was able to stop cancer in its tracks,” Kate says. Now, Kate’s determined to spread awareness so that all Australians can do the same.

Incidence of breast cancer is on the rise, meaning more Australians will be affected in the prime of their working lives.
It’s one of the many reasons why NBCF is funding research projects like that of A/Prof Georgia Halkett who plans to implement a new individually-tailored program to support people affected by breast cancer who are looking to sustain or return to work following treatment.

NBCF-funded researcher Dr Philip Gregory is exploring the exciting new world of ‘microRNAs’. These tiny particles of genetic material exist inside cells and regulate how our genes are switched on and off. Dr Gregory is specifically interested in how these particles can cause breast cancer cells to spread. The information he discovers could lead to the development of improved treatments and preventative measures for metastatic breast cancer.

I will no longer support the Breast Cancer foundation due to your appalling decision to partner with a formula company! The research clearly states that breastfeeding decreases a women's chance of developing breast cancer, yet you form a partnership with corrupt formula companies which are trying to brainwash women into giving up breastfeeding & giving them artificial crap! This is comparable to if McDonalds formed a partnership with the heart foundation.... totally goes against what you stand for. I feel the Breast Cancer Foundation no longer cares about preventing cancer & are now more interested in becoming a profitable organisation targeting vulnerable women. If women breastfeed & therefore don't develop cancer, then you won't make as much money. Totally corrupt just like the hospitals who try & brainwash mothers into thinking they can't breastfeed just so they can push formula on mums to get their payouts from disgusting formula companies. You are pathetic!
