Breast Cancer Australia said the donation was made in recognition of the “extraordinary sacrifice” made by a local mother who is a breast-cancer survivor.

“This donation is an example of the charity’s commitment to supporting women and families affected by breast cancer, and we are very grateful for the support we have received from a range of individuals and organisations to help us keep the fight going,” Breast Cancer South Australia chief executive Catherine Hill said.

“It is our sincere and heartfelt thanks to Mary Jane for her dedication to supporting the SA Breast Cancer Alliance.”

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mary Jane and the impact that her loss has had on the breast-piercing community.

“The letter also thanked SAAF volunteers for their work, including the “brave” volunteers who helped transport a young woman to hospital after being diagnosed with breast cancer and a “supervised” woman who worked with patients to “re-establish” their confidence.”

You have all done an incredible job,” Ms Hill wrote.”
