Since 2006, Curves gyms across the country have raised over $1.7 million to supported those affected by women’s cancers in Australia.

With 1 in 3 women being diagnosed with cancer, Cancer Council are incredibly grateful to Curves and the community, who help reduce the impact of cancer on our society. One of the key ways for women to reduce their cancer risk is through regular physical activity, which along with maintaining a healthy weight and eating a healthy diet can reduce the risk of many common cancers.

Every day in Australia, 70 women are diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancer

Money raised from your pink fundraiser will help fund world-class research into women’s cancers, cancer prevention and advocacy programs, and support services to help those affected by women’s cancers.
