It was so wonderful to go to the @breastscreen_wa #PinkRibbonBreakfast2026 yesterday @frasersrestaurant at the stunning @kingsparkandbotanicgarden .
I apologise that this is basically a lot of photos of me haha, I was so captivated by the 3 speakers, @fionacampbellmusic @danielavecchio53 and of course, the wonderful @trinie.bt who shared her experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer at 31, that I didn't take any photos during the event.
The first 3 photos were taken by my Beloved, hence the weird angles 🤣
Some photos of Kings Park and the round building is Fraser's Restaurant. Their breakfast is always beautiful and their wait staff are superb.
I bought a copy of Petrina's book, 'It's not (just) about the breast' and I'm looking forward to reading this.
As I was leaving, I thought I was having an auditory hallucination as I could hear bagpipes so I went back to Fraser's and saw Petrina's husband, Lee, playing Amazing Grace. I was outside the restaurant watching and listening and I could hear a number of the guests, inside, singing along. It was a beautiful and completely unexpected moment for me and I'm sure, most of the others.
I've added 3 photos from the 2026 BreastScreen WA campaign 'Dont' miss your most important photo' with myself, Leanne and Jodie. On the website, you can also see interviews with Leanne and Jodie for the campaign.
The final 3 photos are from the 2025 breakfast, again, because I was too busy yesterday listening to everyone who spoke, or catching up with friends, new and old. I was so honoured to be invited to share my story with everyone last year, including how my very first mammogram at BSWA found my cancer when it was the size of a grain of rice. The last 3 photos include a number of the BSWA staff including Matt, Hayley and Lauren, who work incredibly hard to organise this event, Director A/Professor Emmeline Lee and also the Minister for Health - @meredithhammat . This year, the always beautifully dressed Dr Eric Khong shared his MC duties with the also very dapper Matt and they did an incredible job, dad jokes aside! Eric even impressed us with his Italian language skills in honour of Dr Vecchio.
