💗 More than 36,000 people in New Zealand are living with or have survived breast cancer.

Behind every one of those numbers is a person with their own story. Their own challenges. And their own hopes for what comes next.

Because life after breast cancer isn't always as simple as finishing treatment and getting back to normal.

Life after treatment can bring challenges that others don't always see.

Living with fatigue, changes to your body, ongoing pain or discomfort, lymphoedema, the side effects of hormone therapy, or the fear of cancer returning can all become part of your new normal.

And while the appointments might become less frequent and everyone else assumes you're getting back to life as usual, you may still be working out and accepting what your new normal looks like.

But life goes on. And so do the dreams, adventures and experiences that make us who we are. 💗

At Altered Freedom, we understand that journey because we've lived it ourselves.

That's why we're passionate about helping women get back outdoors, rediscover their confidence and keep doing the things they love.

Whether it's a walk in nature, a day on the trails or a bigger adventure, we believe breast cancer shouldn't mean giving up on the things that bring you joy.

We're also proud to support Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, donating $5 from every backpack sold to help support their work.

Because surviving breast cancer is one thing. Having the confidence and freedom to live life on your terms is another.

💗 10 women. Every day. In New Zealand.

Every single day, 10 women in Aotearoa are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Behind every number is a person. A family. A life that may change in an instant.

We know this isn't just a statistic. We've experienced the impact of breast cancer ourselves, and we know that life after diagnosis can look very different from what you imagined.

That's part of the reason we started Altered Freedom.

We want women to know that, even when life changes, there are still adventures to be had, trails to explore and new memories to make. 💗

We're also proud to support Breast Cancer Foundation NZ by donating $5 from every backpack sold and supporting BCFNZ events by being there in person.

Because supporting people affected by breast cancer means more than raising awareness. It means helping people live well, too.

💗 Life Changed. Live it Anyway.

🏔️ Life Beyond the Mountains
From sitting among the mountains with a coffee to standing high above them — every moment was a reminder to stop, look around and appreciate how far life can take you.
A little adventure. A lot of courage. And memories worth carrying with you. ❤️

Happy Father’s Day ❤️

Today, I’m remembering my dad.

In 2017, while I was going through chemotherapy, I travelled to Zimbabwe to see him.

He passed away while I was there.

It was one of the hardest moments of my life, but I’m forever grateful that I made the journey. I got to see him, spend that precious time with him, and be there when he passed.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Sometimes, even in the middle of the hardest seasons, we have to make the journey, show up, and hold onto the moments that matter.

That’s a big part of what Altered Freedom means to me — living life anyway. ❤️

Today, we celebrate and remember all dads — those who are here, those who are far away, and those who live on forever in our hearts.

Happy Father’s Day. ❤️🕊️

We were both sick. Then came treatment. ❤️

And on the other side of it… there were mountains to climb, places to explore, adventures to have and life to live.

Me hiking. Kathryn travelling. Both of us wearing our Womansback backpacks — doing the things we love, carrying more than just a backpack. 🎒

A reminder that there can be life, adventure and freedom after treatment.

This is why we created Altered Freedom.

Because getting through it is one thing.
Getting back to living is another. ❤️

Two years after breast cancer treatment, I stood at the base of Mt Iron in Wānaka.

I knew this walk wouldn't feel the same.

My body had changed. My confidence had changed. My fitness had changed.

There were moments I wondered if I'd make it to the top. But I kept putting one foot in front of the other.

Standing at the summit, looking over Lake Wānaka through the winter inversion, I realised something...

Breast cancer altered my life.

It didn't stop me living it.

What's one moment that reminded you life was opening up again after treatment?

We'd love to hear your story. 💚

It doesn't always involve passports, mountains or finish lines.

Sometimes, the most meaningful moments are much quieter.

Sitting beside someone you love, with nowhere else you need to be.

Breast cancer has a way of changing your perspective. It reminds you not to take these moments for granted.

Freedom isn't always found in the places we go. Sometimes it's found in the people we're with.

These are the moments I treasure most.

💚 What moment, or who, makes you feel most connected? We'd love to hear your story below.

Where would your next adventure take you? 🌿🥾

From New Zealand's breathtaking landscapes to Australia's rugged trails, every adventure begins with that first step.

The WomansBack backpack is designed to provide a more comfortable carrying experience, helping you focus on the journey and the moments that matter most.

💬 If you could take this backpack anywhere in New Zealand or Australia, where would you go first? Tell us in the comments—we'd love to add it to our adventure list!

🎀 **Life after breast cancer... finding your new normal.**

Finishing treatment doesn't always mean life goes back to how it was before. Many people continue to navigate physical and emotional challenges while adjusting to a "new normal".

That's why we'd love to share this free webinar from Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. It will explore life after treatment, with insights from a breast cancer survivor, a nurse specialist, and a health psychologist.

If you're living beyond breast cancer—or supporting someone who is—we think this conversation will be well worth your time.
