Pink caravan pops into town

he New Zealand Breast Cancer Foun- dation is marking its 20th anniversary by T hitting the road. Its custom made, retro-styled pink caravan visited Te Awamutu last week as part of a nationwide tiki-tour through small-town New Zealand. On board for their visit to Te Awamutu were specialist breastcare nurse Valerie Pennick and breast surgeon, Dr Alison Hayes. “We want women everywhere to know all the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, to understand their family and lifestyle risk factors and to know what to do if they have any worries.” Dr Hayes and Mrs Pennick answered a raft of women’s questions about breast cancer. “Our visit had an education focus, not fundraising — that’s next week.” The caravan featured displays of breast cancer symptoms that most women won’t have seen before, plus male and female prosthetic breasts that allowed people to literally get a feel for what a lump is like. “We particularly want women to be aware Computer Aid is proud about changes to their breasts — breast to provide IT service cancer’s not always indicated by a lump. “If you have any unusual breast changes to local homes you need to see your doctor.” TC021014CA02 and businesses Visitors to the caravan were also invited to BREASTCARE nurse Valerie Pennick (left) and breast surgeon Dr Alison Hayes (right) sign a petition asking the Government to extend chat with Jill Shaw from Paterangi outside the pink caravan on Alexandra Street. the upper age limit for free mammogram screening from 69 to 74, bringing New Zealand years ago, no one talked about breast family members affected by breast cancer, into line with countries like Australia and the cancer,” said NZBCF chief executive Van and jumped at the chance to help get the UK.

Te Pahu Preschool recently enjoyed a visit from the Waikato Police Dog Section thanks to two- year-old Max Adams. After a recent hospital appointment left Max feeling a bit down, a chance encounter with some of the members of the dog section led to an invitation for Max to visit their training base. With some quick thinking by Max’s mum, Kathryn, an invitation was extended to the Police to visit Max, his big sister Kayla and their friends at Te Pahu Preschool instead.
