A Country Cure

 The Dairy Women’s Network of New Zealand has joined forces with the Breast Cancer Research Trust in an innovative initiative to raise funds towards achieving the BCRT’s goal of finding a cure for breast cancer by 2018.

Dairy farms that are joined up with the Dairy Women’s Network will be able to donate a minimum of 1kg of milk solids to the BCRT each month, the sales from which will go toward the charity’s groundbreaking scientific research.

“The average age of women on dairy farms is 58 , and farming women affected by breast cancer are often in especially difficult circumstances as it can be hard for them to leave their farms, and they are further away from treatment and support networks,” says Tony Moffatt, CEO of the Breast Cancer Research Trust. “We’re calling on farming communities to rally together to help their own.”
