I’m sure you have all heard of someone holding a “Girls Night In” or going to one or even just speaking about one, but do you know what it is really all about? It is an amazing opportunity to raise much needed funds for Women’s Cancer Research and Prevention.
We have had the opportunity to be involved in Susy and Peter’s Girls Night In this week. It got me thinking about why people do these things. Susy recently lost a lifelong friend to cancer. She was only 50.
If we stop and think about it, most of us can think of someone who has either had cancer or who has had a family member with cancer. It’s not just breast cancer either (although that has personally touched our family) – there are so many women’s cancers that desperately need funding for research – According to the Cancer Council “Every day in Australia, around 50 women are told they have breast or a gynaecological cancer. Sadly, around 12 Australian women will die each day from a women’s cancer. Funds raised by Cancer Council’s Girls Night In goes towards research, prevention and treatment of women with breast, ovarian, cervical, vaginal, vulva and uterine cancers.”
Susy and Peter will be hosting their Girls Night In at the Beyond Bank – Seaford Branch this evening. I’m sure it will be a lot of fun and I hope they will be successful in raising a lot of money for a very worthy cause. I’m sure all donations will be gratefully received.
