Bellarine Pink Ribbon Breakfast

Gayle TIERNEY (Western Victoria – Minister for Skills and TAFE, Minister for Regional Development) (10:04): On another matter, I highlight and commend the Bellarine Women’s Network on hosting another fantastic Pink Ribbon Breakfast, which is the biggest annual fundraising event on the Bellarine. Over the past seven years this event has raised more than $50,000 for breast cancer research. This year’s breakfast sold out in under 2 hours – faster than the grand final. This success would not have been possible without the dedication of the committee, notably Veronica Noonan, Hazel Ingram and Karen Coulson, who worked tirelessly to make sure the event ran smoothly. In these tough times the generosity of our community shines through and reminds us of the life-saving power of collective action. I applaud everyone involved in this essential cause.
