REPOST (SWPICS):

Breast Cancer has affected our community, our families, and those that have succumbed to this illness. Yet our Annual Pink Walk continues to shine as a beacon of hope, of support, and demonstrates how our community will combine for a common cause.
Research tells us that early detection is the best preventative approach. So it is timely to remind our grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and friends that the mobile unit will be here at the car park of Entrance 4 of our Hospital from 9th Nov - 11th December.
Please encourage our women to get checked!
If they need support to get there, call us. If they have an appointment out of town come and see us, or even just to talk, we are here.
We are able to offer this because of an amazing group of likeminded people who themselves have supported this in their own way.
A special thank you to our sponsors and partners:
Wera Aotearoa Charitable Trust
Aquasplash Ltd
Creative Vision
South Waikato District Council
New World Tokoroa
Tokoroa Countdown
Limitless Crew Tokoroa
Fighting Fit Club Tokoroa
Gym Fifty-Six

Dancefit886
Maire Cook Islands Dance Classes
To date we have received 70.90🥰 in donations.
We are thankful.
See you next year.
