When Heather McGregor was preparing to host her first Pink Ribbon breakfast nine years ago, she only expected half a dozen people to turn up.
What she thought would be a little morning tea at her Palmerston home turned into a gathering of 60 people on her front lawn, all keen to raise money for the Breast Cancer New Zealand Foundation.
The breakfast has become an annual tradition, with more than 100 people attending now, and she has enlisted her friend Sonya Watson to help.

Not only did she become an advocate for her friend during her cancer fight, she expressed herself through her art, which has become The Bodice Project.
