At the time of posting this bite size clip from my full podcast with Nikki Kaye, it is the breast cancer pink ribbon street appeal in New Zealand (If you go past a collector, please don’t pretend you are reading something on your phone). In fact, I’d urge you to look round the house or car for any actual money- preferably notes- that you could drop in one of the buckets.

In this clip, Nikk Kaye, the former National party deputy leader, talks us through her devastating diagnosis back in 2016 and the entire journey that followed. Its not an easy listen in parts, but I can't thank Nikki enough for being so open.

Here are some other stats from Breast Cancer NZ. The number on the left is age by decade. The numbers on the right are the risk of breast cancer in the next ten years:

20s 1 in 1,314

30s 1 in 204

40s 1 in 50

50s 1 in 37

60s 1 in 29

70s 1 in 36
