Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

How would you react if you were told you had breast cancer? It could happen to any one of us or some one we love. It's great to know there is support out there if and when we need it.
These brave ladies have faced that issue and now want to help others.

How would you react if you were told you had breast cancer? It could happen to any one of us or some one we love. It's great to know there is support out there if and when we need it.
These brave ladies have faced that issue and now want to help others.
Read what they did!

Twelve Northland women have become "calendar girls" to help fund raise for breast cancer support in Northland.
The women - all breast cancer survivors - feature in the Strength and Beauty calendar which was launched on October 28.

Why not support this good cause by buying a calendar from Regent New World or Sportman's Choice.

We wish everyone a safe Halloween but we need to remember that not everyone wants to be part of Halloween celebrations.

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:

- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.

Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.

If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.

Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.
