Would you shave your head for a cure? Our very own Pharmacy Tech, Lauren has supported both her Mum and sister through breast cancer, so this was a cause very close to her heart. Lauren decided to take action by shaving her head to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  Her Mum battled breast cancer twice and her sister was also diagnosed with breast cancer this year, which really cemented her decision to shave her hair off.

As well as raising money for breast cancer research, she donated her hair to Ella Wigmakers who support wigs for kids.

Lauren was also interviewed by Wayne Lieberman 4CRB 89.3FM radio about her efforts. Listen to the interview HERE.

Lauren smashed her fundraising target to raise $4,600, with Dr Hill kindly making a final donation to bump the total over $5,000! Well done Lauren, we are so proud of you. Thanks to everyone who donated, and supported Lauren on her mission; including our wonderful patients, suppliers, friends and family.  If you have a history of breast cancer in your family, you may benefit from genetic testing with one of our experienced genetic counsellors.
