“This all has to do with October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is to let people know that breast cancer is not the end of the road – there are good stories to be told,” said Neil.
This campaign is also a fundraiser for the hospice who rely on donations from kind people and companies to make the wheels turn and help them to be able to provide free palliative nursing care to people who cannot afford it.
