The team at Breast Cancer Foundation NZ are incredibly disappointed to let you know that we've made the tough decision to cancel the Pink Ribbon Walks in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch this November.

We know that this is a really special event for many of you, and we feel the same.

However, all of the uncertainty in the event space at the moment means it's too risky for us to continue with the walks this year. We're up against travel restrictions, vaccine passports and regulations around mass gatherings, and ultimately, we feel a responsibility to look after our community - your health and safety is our top priority.

As a charity, this has an extra sting - our Pink Ribbon Walkers were on track to raise almost $500,000 to fund breast cancer education, research and patient support. That's why we're going virtual - we're working on a virtual walk alongside our fantastic event partners, Estee Lauder Companies, Pink Lady Apples, SBS and The Hits which will take place on Sunday 31 October 2021. It will involve you dressed in pink and walking around your neighbourhood, sponsor goodies, prizes for good pics and a virtual warm up! If you already have a Pink Ribbon Walk ticket, no need to do anything (we'll be in touch with more info soon). For everyone else, just register for the virtual walk to get involved.
