The Byron Breast Cancer Support Group celebrated the tenth anniversary of the ‘Byron Breast Cancer Day and Minifield of Women’ event in Apex Park, Main Beach, Byron Bay last Saturday.
Organiser Barb Pinter said, ‘Although breast cancer care and knowledge has come a long way, women and some men are still being diagnosed every single day’.

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
In my small circle of aquaintens and friends, 4 of them have been diagnosed with breast cancer recently, causing me a lot of sadness, a disease which was extremely rare 50 years ago. Would it not be more fruitful to find out WHY this is happening now and address the CAUSE so we do not need to have these celebrations of survivers? Is this the world we want to live in?
