Women Influencing Women – Pink Ribbon Breakfast 

Once again, our Women Influencing Women group is showing support for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ and we invite you to our Pink Ribbon Breakfast on Wednesday, 28 May 2025.

So please join us for some breakfast treats generously supplied by our team, and some light-hearted fun. This year we have Nicky Grundy, owner of the award-winning Grundy Productions, who was juggling it all when a breast cancer diagnosis changed everything. While pushing through aggressive treatment, she kept life moving—until she realized the life she was fighting to maintain was breaking her.

In her talk, "Thank You, Cancer," Nicky shares how she chose to step away—hibernating her business, taking her kids out of school, and traveling New Zealand in a tiny home. Her journey is a powerful reminder that we don’t have to wait for a crisis to start truly living.

Be sure to get glammed up in PINK for the event as there will once again be prizes for the best dressed. We are also delighted to have some fabulous raffle prizes up for grabs. So be sure to bring cash or card on the day to buy some raffle tickets. As always, there will also be an opportunity to purchase breast cancer merchandise.

Please feel free to bring along a colleague or friend to support this great cause.
