chicks in pink: the thinking chicks charity

Many of you may be aware that October is national breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer amongst Australian women so throughout the month of October we would like to offer our assitance to help raise much needed funds for chicks in pink!


For those of you who are not familiar with 'chicks in pink' they are a charity organisation which aims to raise funds which have a positive, significant and real impact on people who are affected by breast cancer.  Their funds also contribue to the better understanding and treatement of breast cancer through medical research.  Today, chicks in pink supports Mater Private Hospital Brisbane, Mater Private Hospital Redland, Mater Adult Hospital and Mater Medical Research Institute. Pop over to the chicks in pink website to read more about how they are making a difference. You will be amazed!
