Introducing The Pink Initiative

We are so proud and excited to introduce The Pink Initiative 2026, a three-month community campaign running from August to October, dedicated to empowering women through movement, education and meaningful connection.

Our vision is simple: to create a healthier, stronger community where women feel informed, supported and empowered to take charge of their health.

Why a women's health initiative?

Women's health is about so much more than just treating illness. It's about prevention, resilience, recovery and living well at every stage of life.

Regular physical activity is one of the most powerful tools we have to improve health. It supports heart health, strengthens bones and muscles, improves balance and mobility, enhances mental wellbeing and contributes to healthy ageing. Exercise also plays an important role in the prevention, treatment and recovery of many medical conditions, including breast cancer.

We see every day how movement can restore confidence, improve quality of life and help people return to the activities they love. The Pink Initiative is our way of sharing that message with our wider community.

Partnering for a greater impact

This year, we're proud to partner with iLoveBoobies to help extend the impact of our initiative beyond our own community.

Throughout the campaign, selected merchandise and fundraising activities will support the incredible work they do, with all proceeds donated to iLoveBoobies. Together, we hope to raise awareness, celebrate survivors and contribute to meaningful support for those affected by breast cancer.

So, what does this three-month initiative look like?

Pink Evening Series

Throughout September and October, we'll be hosting Pink Evenings, exclusive events created just for women. Each evening combines movement, education and connection in a welcoming, supportive environment: a workout, followed by a short health education talk, then coffee and a social. 17h30–19h30.

Bra Collection Drive

One of the simplest ways to get involved is by supporting our Gently Used Bra Collection Drive. From 1 August to 31 October, we'll be collecting gently used bras at all MyoMerge practices. These donations will be passed on to iLoveBoobies to help ensure women in our communities have access to essential items that are often overlooked but can make a meaningful difference.

If you have bras in good condition but no longer needed, we'd love for you to drop them off during the campaign.

Our four pillars

Everything we do throughout The Pink Initiative is built around four simple principles.

01

Movement

Movement is medicine. Whether it's walking, strength training, rehabilitation or simply staying active, regular exercise is one of the most effective ways to support lifelong health.

02

Education

Knowledge empowers better health decisions. Throughout the initiative, we'll share evidence-based information on women's health, breast cancer, exercise, healthy ageing and wellbeing.

03

Impact

Our goal isn't simply to help women recover from illness. It's to help them thrive. We want every woman to feel stronger, more confident and empowered to enjoy life at every stage.

04

Community

Our events bring together women, healthcare professionals, community organisations and local businesses to learn from one another and build meaningful connections.

More than a campaign

We hope The Pink Initiative becomes more than a series of events.

Most of all, we hope it reminds every woman that investing in her health is never selfish. It's one of the greatest gifts she can give herself and those around her.

Join us

Whether you're joining The Pink Workout, attending a Pink Evening, supporting iLoveBoobies, donating to the Bra Collection Drive, or simply following along online, we'd love for you to be part of this journey.
