Police turn pink for cancer

An initiative to raise money for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ will see eight local police personnel serve up breakfast next month.

The ‘pink breakfast’ will be at the Warkworth RSA on June 1 from 7.30am and will cost $25 a head.

Warkworth police constable Katie Burton is a survivor of breast cancer and says while the breakfast is a fun event, it’s for a serious issue.

“Breast cancer affects many people so it’s relevant to our whole community and needs your support,” Katie says.

She also jokes that the breakfast will be worth coming to as an opportunity to tell the police what you’ve always wanted to, while they’re out of official uniform and serving up your morning meal.
