In a twist of fate, a 58-year-old nurse's New Year's Day took a life-changing turn when a fall left her with a fractured wrist and forearm. The road to recovery has been challenging, testing her resilience in ways she never imagined. Meanwhile, in a heartwarming gesture, over $20,000 was raised at the Pink Ribbon Lunch, where a stunning flower wall set the backdrop for a day of generosity and support. Crayfish, bejewelled bras, and high-end packages dazzled attendees in the auction, highlighting the community's spirit of giving and unity.

The funds raised will contribute significantly to ongoing research and support for patients, marking a milestone in the fight against this disease. The Bay's residents have once again shown their remarkable spirit and generosity, coming together to make a difference in the lives of others.

In the face of adversity, both Alder and the Pink Ribbon Lunch organizers exemplify strength and compassion, inspiring others with their resilience and dedication. These events serve as poignant reminders of the power of community and the impact of individual courage in overcoming challenges.
