Why this cause matters to us
At Capes Medical Supplies (Capes), the majority of our team is made up of women — from diverse backgrounds, communities, and walks of life across Aotearoa. When we talk about breast cancer, we’re not talking about a distant statistic. We’re talking about our colleagues, our whānau, our customers, and the patients and pets they care for every day.Supporting the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation is more than a tick-box exercise for us. It’s personal. And the numbers make it impossible to look away.
Breast cancer in Aotearoa: the numbers that drive us
Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in New Zealand. The scale of it is sobering:- 1 in 9: New Zealand women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
- 9 women: receive a breast cancer diagnosis every single day in Aotearoa.
- Nearly 2 women: die from breast cancer every day in New Zealand.
- 8th highest: New Zealand has one of the highest breast cancer incidence rates in the world.
- 20% higher: New Zealand’s breast cancer mortality rate is 20% higher than Australia’s.
- Wāhine Māori & Pacific women: face significantly worse outcomes — Māori women are 33% more likely, and Pacific women 52% more likely, to die from breast cancer than other women in New Zealand.
Survival rates are improving. Yet we still need to do more.
Survival rates are improving — and that's worth celebrating. But improvement is not the same as enough. Every day, nearly two New Zealand women still lose their lives to this disease. That's two families. Two workplaces. Two communities changed forever.Early detection saves lives. BreastScreen Aotearoa offers free mammograms to women aged 45–74 every two years — yet screening alone isn't the whole answer. Research, advocacy, wrap-around support for those going through treatment, and a relentless push to close the gap for Māori and Pacific women — none of that happens without funding. That's exactly what the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation does. And that's exactly why we're behind them.
