The South Burnett’s annual “Pinking Up” campaign to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation’s breast cancer nurses was officially launched in Kingaroy on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The campaign runs throughout the month of October, with pink-themed events and displays to raise awareness and funds.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett’s McGrath Foundation nurse Sue Cox was on hand to receive a $5000 cheque from local residents Barry and Leanne Krosch to kickstart the campaign.<\/p>\n

Sue is the only breast care nurse in our region and currently has about 100 clients whom she is supporting.<\/p>\n

“In any week I have about six on chemotherapy, four on radiotherapy and a couple coming back from surgery,” she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the support doesn’t stop when the treatment stops, with Sue touching base regularly to help people adjust to their new way of living.<\/p>\n

Mayor Kathy Duff, for whom pink is permanent, officially cut a pink tape to launch this year’s campaign.<\/p>\n

One of the first events will be the “Wondai Goes Pink” breast cancer morning tea to be held from 10:30am to 12:30pm on Saturday, October 12, at the Wondai Memorial Hall.<\/p>\n

Guest speakers will include Sue Cox, physiotherapist Julie Ultmann, community nurse Marcia Hunt and social worker Tess Elliott.<\/p>\n

Cost is $20 and tickets can be booked online<\/a> or by phoning Tess on 0417-141-212.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deputy Mayor Danita Potter also urged everyone to check out the Pinking Up South Burnett Facebook page<\/a><\/strong> to find details on how donate.<\/p>\n

By donating to the South Burnett Pinking Up campaign, funds raised will stay in the local area.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease post your photos, advertise your events and share your stories to encourage others to come on board and make a positive difference for this vital service for our region,\u201d Cr Potter said.<\/p>\n
