Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day

Join Us for a Day of Empowerment and Healing

For many, breast reconstruction marks the final step in their breast cancer journey—a time to reclaim empowerment, confidence, and a renewed sense of self. This special day is dedicated to providing education and support for those facing breast reconstruction and restoration decisions after breast cancer.

Generously funded by Halton Healthcare and supported by their valued community partners, we invite you to be part of this transformative experience.
