Australian Rules Football brings us together: eight women ranging in age from early twenties to early thirties, from part time student to full time professional, from the novice footballer to the experienced captain. Despite our differences, if you saw us on the pitch, you’d think we were all about the same type of healthy, “normal” young woman. Our footy skills would leave no room for wonder about whether or not something was wrong with us. Now look at the picture and try to figure out which one of us has dealt with breast cancer or breast disease. There isn’t one; it’s half of us.
