Clocktower lit pink - supports breast cancer awareness

Hokitika's Clocktower has joined the more than 70 landmarks and prominent buildings across New Zealand to be lit up to mark Breast Cancer Awareness this October.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer for Kiwi women. Each year, more than 3,500 women are diagnosed with the disease nationwide and every year around 650 will die from it.

By turning pink, landmarks and buildings all over Aotearoa New Zealand are helping to spread the life-saving message about the importance of early detection. The earlier breast cancer is caught, the better the outcome.
