Hello October 💗

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Breast cancer can affect anyone, so this month is a gentle reminder to know your normal, be breast aware, and speak to your healthcare professional if you notice any changes.

As women who have walked the breast cancer journey ourselves, we know just how important awareness, early detection and support can be.

Take a few minutes to check your breasts. Know what’s normal for you, and if you notice any changes, get them checked.

We also remember with love those who are no longer with us, while celebrating the strength, courage and hope of everyone touched by breast cancer. 💗

Awareness. Support. Hope. Together. 💗
...

Hello October 💗

...

💗Together, let’s paint Whyalla Hospital PINK! 💗

Our kitchens have been absolutely buzzing this week as we get ready for this Friday! We are hosting a huge Go Pink Day fundraiser stall right inside Whyalla Hospital, and we can't wait to see you all.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a cause incredibly close to our hearts. This stall is a major fundraiser for us, and every single dollar raised goes directly to helping local families right here in our community who are navigating a tough cancer diagnosis.

Our tables will be packed to the brim with all your usual Wellness Sisters favourites! We will have cookies, cupcakes, slices, date loaf, tin cakes, candles, diffusers, heat bags, and absolutely so much more!

You can find us on the 1st floor in the large waiting area from 9:15 AM, just in time for morning tea. Whether you’re a staff member, visiting family, or just popping into the hospital, please come past, treat yourself to a sweet treat, and say hello.

Don't forget to wear something pink! Whether it’s a shirt, a pair of socks, a lanyard, or a simple ribbon, let’s paint the hospital pink together this Friday.

A HUGE thank you from the Wellness Sisters💕

Yesterday we held our Father’s Day Stall, and we are absolutely blown away to share that we raised just under $6,500!

Once again, our amazing Whyalla community answered the call. Whenever we hold a fundraiser, you show up in the most incredible way — and yesterday was certainly no exception. We are so incredibly grateful for every person who donated, purchased, shared our fundraiser, or simply stopped by to support us. 💕

We know that almost everyone has been personally touched by cancer in some way — whether through a family member, a friend, or through their own journey. Yesterday, we had the privilege of chatting with some of these beautiful people, hearing their stories and knowing that what we are doing is helping ease the burden.
That is what it’s all about. 💕

Knowing that our fundraising can make a difference, even in the smallest way, fills our hearts and makes every hour of hard work, every late night and every bit of effort completely worthwhile.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Whyalla. You continue to amaze us, support us and remind us just how special our community is.
We couldn’t do it without you.

💕 A little side note… 💕
We were all decked out in our brand-new Wellness Sisters t-shirts yesterday and received some lovely comments on them! 💕

And we have some exciting news… the Whyalla Visitor Centre will be selling these shirts in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with a percentage of the proceeds being donated back to Wellness Sisters. 💗
We will be so excited to see these shirts out in the community and even more excited that they can help raise awareness and support our cause at the same time.
More on that to come! 💕

Thank you again,
With Love And Gratitude,
Wellness Sisters xx

❤️We were so proud to be part of the Women’s Health Awareness Round at Whyalla Netball yesterday❤️

It was wonderful to work alongside Linsey's Legacy and the Nunyara Aboriginal Health Service team as we came together to raise awareness of breast cancer, gynaecological cancers and bowel cancer. Throughout the day, we provided information, support and guidance to the community, helping to promote the importance of awareness, early detection and screening.

The Wellness Sisters team had plenty of fun painting glitter on faces and hair, applying temporary Pink Ribbon tattoos, and giving away breast cancer bracelets, hair ribbons, balloons and stickers. We apologise to any parents who are still trying to get the glitter out of their children’s hair and trying to scrub off tattoos 😊

We were fortunate to have our local breast care nurse Kate Kroll with us, sharing her expertise on breast health, demonstrating how to check for lumps and discussing mammograms.
As always, the Wellness Sisters team took every opportunity to remind people to check their boobs and be breast aware. 💕

Thank you to the Whyalla Netball Association for this wonderful initiative and for bringing our groups together to promote important health messages within the community. It was a fantastic day, and we were grateful to be part of it. 💕

This week at netball we are shining a light on women’s health. The clubs have all come together to promote having conversations about looking after ourselves as busy women and sharing resources about what’s available. We’ll have information from two of our local support groups Linsey's Legacy Gynaecological Cancer Foundation and the Wellness Sisters, our local McGrath Breast Care nurse Kate Kroll to talk about breast screening and Jeanette Cowan from Nunyara health services to talk about bowel screening. We’re encouraging everyone to take the time to pop past and inform yourselves on what’s available, ask questions and spread awareness. There will be ribbons and glitter and individual clubs are colouring their teams up.

In memory of some tough women we have lost in our community let’s start the conversations and look after ourselves and each other 🩵🩷💙

**JUNE IS BOWEL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH**

Bowel cancer is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early, and June serves as an important reminder to PRIORITISE SCREENING and LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.

REGULAR SCREENING CAN SAVE LIVES.

Early-stage bowel cancer often has no symptoms, but it's important to speak with your GP if you notice any of the following:

🔹 Blood in your stool or rectal bleeding
🔹 Changes in bowel habits (diarrhoea, constipation, or narrower stools)
🔹 Abdominal pain, cramping, or bloating
🔹 Unexplained weight loss
🔹 Persistent fatigue or weakness
🔹 A feeling that the bowel hasn’t emptied completely

DON'T IGNORE SYMPTOMS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL THEY MAY SEEM.

💙 Early detection matters. Encourage your loved ones to get checked too.

Farewell our beautif

It is with broken hearts that we have had to say goodbye to our beautiful Wellness Sister Sharon Todd. Sharon was an inspirational woman who brought so much to our group. She had a positive 'Can do' attitude with everything that she did. An infectious motivation to selflessly work for others and a generous heart, second to none. She was a strong, brave and courageous woman whose legacy will never be forgotten.

Thank you for all your hard work in our charity, but most of all, thank you for your friendship. Having known you has enriched our lives and inspired us to be better people.

We send our heart felt sympathy to Colin and all of Sharon's family and friends.

Rest in Peace Sharon ❤️🙏
