The Pink Caravan is coming to Wellington - 11 November

Emilie Petitdemange from Pink Caravan Education & Awareness - Wellington Central

Each year our breast health nurses travel around New Zealand in our iconic Pink Caravan, to talk about mammograms, offer advice about checking your breasts, healthy lifestyles and family risk.

Our nurses have valuable advice about symptoms, treatments, support groups and post-surgery options. The breast care nurses have visual and hands-on displays of breast cancer symptoms that most women won’t have seen before, and will use prosthetic breasts to show what a lump feels like.

We are currently touring the Wellington region with the Pink Caravan. Our breast nurses would love to have a chat to you, so check out where the Caravan is headed and when it comes to a town near you, pop in and say hi.

- On 11 November, our team of breast care nurses will park the Pink caravan in Crofton Downs for the day at Countdown store (124 Churchill Drive, Crofton Downs, Wellington)
