Stall volunteers wanted

Pink Ribbon Day volunteers are needed to help on the Cancer Council's breast cancer awareness stall at Deepwater Plaza at the end of the month.

Volunteers are needed between 9am and 4.30pm on Thursday, October 21, to help sell Pink Ribbon Day merchandise with funds raised going to breast cancer research, education and patient support services.

"Cancer Council looks for energetic volunteers to help out during October for breast cancer awareness month," volunteer team leader Ms Vicki White of Umina said.

"Helping to sell Pink Ribbon products at one of our sites is simple, and can even be fun and inspirational.

"This year alone around 12,000 Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

"By selling our pink products or by buying a pink gift yourself, you can help us fight breast cancer.

"While survival rates have increased with recent breakthroughs, one in nine women still face a diagnosis by the age of 85 and will need our help and support.

"Your contribution can make a difference.

"With your help, we can make Pink Ribbon Day a success and fund more research, support and prevention programs."

For more information or to volunteer, call the Helpline on 131 120.
