Besides organising publicity, fundraising, raffles and the Mother’s Day Pink Breakfast guest-speaker for breast cancer awareness, Shona has been a trooper for Clutha Health First for 23 years.
"I was at a meeting where it was announced the Pink Ribbon Breakfast needed somebody to to manage it and I just felt my arm go up as if it had been lifted for me," Mrs McDonald said.
"I was brought up to believe you always pay back a kindness, and when you can tell someone needs a hand, it’s just as easy to pay it forwards, too."
Mrs McDonald’s first Pink Ribbon Breakfast was a huge success, with about 45 guests and an extensive list of business contributors raising an impressive sum to support people with breast cancer in Clutha-South Otago.
