We are very sad today to be saying goodbye to our amazing intern Helen. She travelled all the way from Hong Kong to complete a short internship with us.

Yesterday we held our fourth Stand Strong 4 Sweet Louise Giving Dat! The final tally is now in and we are excited to share that we raised an incredible $200,000 in just 24 hours. 🥰🥳 We are so thrilled, and just in awe of our wonderful, kind community. We will start to put these funds to use right now, so we can give Kiwis facing incurable breast cancer the support they urgently need. Kiwis like Natalie, who shared, “I’m so grateful to have Sweet Louise – I know they‘ve got my back. To have them arrive at your home and listen, to ask how you are feeling, and how they can help – it is so valuable. And I am very thankful for the opportunities they have given me to spend special time with Zoe. Thank you for making all this possible.” Because of your kindness shown on our special Giving Day, we can make sure that women like Natalie don’t have to go through an incurable breast cancer diagnosis alone. We can also give more families like Natalie and Zoe the chance to do something special together and create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. There is no more precious gift we can give.

Very positive news today that Pharmac is looking to fund pembrolizumab (branded as Keytruda) from 1 October for eligible people with advanced triple negative breast cancer. There's more info on their website https://lnkd.in/gZRMy3aa
