The Field of Women LIVE is a wonderful way for the community to pay tribute to those affected by breast cancer

14,000 women and men will unite on the MCG to create the Pink Lady silhouette recognising all those Australians who have been affected by breast cancer.

Show your support by standing alongside your family, friends or colleagues in this moving and inspiring event.

  • a photo of the aerial shot to ensure you never forget!
  • free admission to match
  • a poncho and backpack
  • free public transport within Victoria
  • an opportunity to be part of this extraordinary ceremony honouring those who have been affected by breast cancer
