predicted that 20,973 women and 221 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer, according to Breast Cancer Network Australia. Hence, approximately 21,194 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. On average, that is 58 people every day.</p> <p>However, little is known about what percentage of these people might have to go through a diagnosis and treatment without support.</p> <p>This is why the Sale-based not-for-profit organisation Footprints Foundation was founded 10 years ago.</p> <p>“Footprints (Foundation) looks after women, and on occasion, a man who’s going through breast cancer treatment, as in chemo, radiation (and) pre-and post-surgery. We provide garden maintenance, lawn maintenance, house cleaning, (and the) provision of cooked meals, all complementary, while they’re undergoing that treatment,” Footprints Foundation secretary Angela Jones said.</p> <p>Ms Jones, a two-time breast cancer survivor, has been involved with the not-for-profit organisation since its inception in 2014. She said many of the foundation’s volunteers are survivors themselves.</p> <p>The foundation is based in Sale, supporting people living in town or within a 40-kilometre radius.</p> <p>“We look after people in the Sale, Maffra, Stratford radius, but we have been as far as having clients in Heyfield and Briag,” Ms Jones said.</p> <p>When asked if the foundation was created to fill a gap in care services, Ms Jones confirmed that it was.</p> <p>“There’s nothing like this around that we’re aware of at all,” she said.</p> <p>In her experience, Ms Jones said she was “lucky” to be surrounded by friends and family throughout her treatment, but said some people aren’t so fortunate.</p> <p>“We have a very transitional community here with the RAAF base… and some people come here for new jobs, and they don’t have any support, and so, we try to step in and be that person or that help that they may not have had before,” she said.</p> <p>Support is critical to anyone undergoing cancer treatment, and this underpins everything Footprints Foundation does.</p> <p>Its ethos – ‘the times when you have seen only one set of footprints is when I carried you’ – means stepping in to be the ‘helper’, Ms Jones said.</p> <p>Footprints Foundation volunteers can be that person for people undergoing treatment alone. Additionally, Ms Jones said the foundation’s services enable families to concentrate on caring for their loved ones rather than on household chores.</p> <p>“It’s a really vulnerable time, obviously, for the client. If we can help take the burden off them and their family just for that short time, that’s what we want to do,” Ms Jones said.</p> <p>Like all not-for-profits, the Footprints Foundation relies on vital funds to support its services. According to Ms Jones, the COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on their resources, as volunteers working with their vulnerable clients needed extra training.</p> <p>Enter Jennifer Young and the team at Wood, a generous local business that fundraised throughout October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Ms Young, Wood’s senior project administrator, spearheaded a raffle fundraiser, raising $8130 for the Footprints Foundation.</p> <p>“With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, I approached Wood for a monetary donation to kick start the raffle, and this was approved almost immediately. I approached local businesses and asked for donations towards our raffle, and so many businesses, big and small, were all too happy to donate,” Ms Young said.</p> <p>This fundraiser was inspired by raising $1000 each for Footprints Foundation and another breast cancer charity on International Women’s Day last year.</p> <p>“Angela from Footprints (Foundation) was so taken aback and grateful that I was determined to go bigger and better,” Ms Young said.</p> <p>On October 30, Ms Jones was invited to Wood’s office to kickstart the raffle draw. When the final tally was revealed, she was overcome with emotion.</p> <p>“This fundraising that Wood has done for us is just incredible – we’re blown away,” Ms Jones said.</p> <style type="text/css">
