Do Better For Our Bits

By Heather Barker

I'm saving lives.

Every day, 45 Aussie men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. That’s why I’ve decided to become an agent of change by joining the PCFA-Team.

I’ll be working together with my husband, Steve, and workmate, Chloe, putting on a huge, fun and informative Breakfast fundraiser to support men and their families impacted by a prostate cancer diagnosis (50% to prostate cancer research and 50% to breast cancer research). 

From game-changing research to specialised mental and physical care, there is so much more we can, and must, do to stand by the men we love and save lives.

Please support the team that can save lives by making a tax-deductible donation to our campaign in support of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

My Updates

Together we did better for our bits

Wednesday 9th Nov
We thank each and every person and business who engaged with our goal to raise funds for research and raise awareness too. Thank you to PCFA for everything they do!

A successful breakfast event

Thursday 27th Oct
The breakfast event on Wednesday was brilliant. We had a really buzz in the room, a big breakfast spread and a most captivating Q and A Panel of experts. I think we all walked away feeling more informed about the importance and benefits of well-being and screening for breast cancer / risk assessment for prostate cancer. We also raised important funds for breast cancer research (& prostate cancer research too). We need a few days to reconcile the income however believe we have $6,000 for each of our charities! Thank you to every single person who has any role in supporting this effort. Together we are doing better for our bits.
