Besides organising publicity, fundraising, raffles and the Mother's Day Pink Breakfast guest-speaker for breast cancer awareness, Shona has been a trooper for Clutha Health First for 23 years. "I was at a meeting where it was announced the Pink Ribbon Breakfast needed somebody to to manage it and I just felt my arm go up as if it had been lifted for me," Mrs McDonald said. "I was brought up to believe you always pay back a kindness, and when you can tell someone needs a hand, it's just as easy to pay it forwards, too." Mrs McDonald's first Pink Ribbon Breakfast was a huge success, with about 45 guests and an extensive list of business contributors raising an impressive sum to support people with breast cancer in Clutha-South Otago.

More than 100 people gathered this morning to support breast cancer awareness at a Pink Ribbon Breakfast at Ōrākei Bay this morning, raising over $6,000 for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. The event was co-hosted by Tāmaki MP Brooke van Velden and Epsom MP David Seymour with proceeds supporting research, education, and patient care across New Zealand. 'This is a cause that touches thousands of Kiwi families every year,' said van Velden. 'It's great to see so many people from our community come together to support such an important cause.' 'Every dollar raised helps fund better outcomes for people facing breast cancer. We're grateful to everyone who came along and contributed,' said Seymour. 'A huge thank you to our guest speaker Jude Dobson, Breast Cancer Foundation NZ ambassador, for joining us and sharing her perspective. We're also incredibly grateful to the Foundation's experts who gave up their time to answer questions and engage with attendees. Their presence made the event truly meaningful.' The breakfast was made possible thanks to the generosity of local businesses. Collective Hospitality provided the stunning Ōrākei Bay venue free of charge, ensuring that all proceeds could go directly to the Breast Cancer Foundation. Function Staff, Insphire, and The Revelry also generously donated their services.
