just doing our bit
Since Kel's battle with breast cancer, we've wanted to be able to give something back to the people and organisations who helped us when we needed them the most.
In late 2019, Kelly was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer. Our lives changed instantly, and within weeks, Kel had undergone surgery and started chemo. Throughout her treatment, we had so many unreal nurses and people who helped guide her through this epic battle, but nothing compared to the support and guidance Kel received from Michelle, a McGrath Foundation Breast Care Nurse.
​
During Kel's treatment, I wanted to work out how to give back, to help those who helped us, and we are forever grateful that the McGrath Foundation was there from day one!
​
Since being on the road, we've been able to take the time to develop ideas of ways we could help, and so, Pink Ribbon Fishin' was born. We had started a Patreon account for OldMate Adventures, which was originally for family and friends who didn't know what to get us for Birthdays/Christmas, etc., now that we are living full-time on the road, but once Pink Ribbon Fishin' started properly coming together in mid 2022, we decided to use the funds from Patreon to go towards prizes for the raffle. This way, people who want to support us can also be involved in something bigger than just giving us money.
We now have an epic small group of Patreons, and the money is put to great use, purchasing parts for hand-made, pink-themed fishing rods and spearguns, all custom-made for Pink Ribbon Fishin', and we are so grateful to the craftsmen who have donated their time to build these amazing prizes!
​​
* From 2024, we are running an end of year "Give-Away" Australia wide instead of the W.A. only Raffle. Every $5 spent on Pink Ribbon Fishin' Merchandise or any Pink Lazer lures, Hezza Slaya, or Skippy Slaya rigs purchased, gets you 1 x entry!! Easy as that and we'll add your number of entries to our list. (you can obviously purchase multiple times)
* All our Patreons get automatic entries to the Give-Away on the same basis of every $5 = 1 entry.
* Give-Away will be drawn the first week in December, with the specific date to be announced closer to the time each year.
* Follow our socials or website newsletter for upcoming news and prizes.
* All money raised goes to McGrath Foundation.
