In 2010 approximately 14,000 Australian women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite no prior health concerns, no family history and her young age, 29-year-old newlywed Yvette Luciano was one of these women after self-detecting a lump on her honeymoon.
With almost a year of treatments finished, Yvette is ready to celebrate and is organising a music event during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Music has always been Yvette’s passion with many years playing in bands and working in the music industry.
The event will feature intimate unplugged performances by a stand-out line up including Ratcat’s Simon Day (doubling as the event host), Amy Meredith, The Art, Screaming Bikini (Sarah Mcleod), Luchi, The Blush Foundation and Isac Cole.
The upbeat event will also feature a rock’n’wheel, raffles/bingo/games and the opportunity to purchase pink ribbon merchandise.
This event aims to raise at least $10k for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF)’s great research which is improving survival rates and quality of life for the 1 in 9 Australian women diagnosed with breast cancer.
