ABOUT BREAST CANCER NETWORK AUSTRALIA
Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) is the official charity partner for the 2025 Carman’s Fun Run. For the past 27 years, BCNA has worked tirelessly to ensure that all Australians who are affected by breast cancer receive the very best care, treatment and support.
As Australia’s leading breast cancer consumer organisation with a network of more than 187,000, BCNA provides information and support to those diagnosed with breast cancer and their supporters. This includes opportunities to connect with others going through a similar situation and working with government and health professionals to influence a stronger healthcare system. Please visit www.bcna.org.au to find out more.
In the next 24 hours, 58 Australians will hear four shocking words – ‘You have breast cancer’. That’s over 21,000 Australian women and men in the next 12 months alone. With your support, BCNA is there to help people diagnosed with breast cancer navigate this challenging time.
