🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀
Our wonderful residents have been busy baking and decorating beautiful pink cupcakes. From sifting and mixing to icing and sprinkling, every cupcake was made with care and love 💕 These sweet treats will be enjoyed during afternoon tea as a symbol of hope and solidarity.
Let’s also take a moment to reflect on the impact of breast cancer in Australia:

📊 Key Statistics:
- 1 in 7 Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
- 58 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every day in Australia.
- In 2025, it's estimated that 20,973 women and 221 men will be diagnosed.
- Sadly, around 3,272 women and 36 men will lose their lives to breast cancer this year.
- The five-year survival rate is now 92.3% for women and 87% for men, thanks to early detection and improved treatments.

🎗️ Reminder: Early detection saves lives. If you're eligible, please book your breast screening and encourage your loved ones to do the same.
Together, we raise awareness, support research, and honour those affected. 💗
