Raising money for cancer research

“Purple Hearts” are a team of West Aussie women raising vital funds for medical research into women’s cancers at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. The Perkins Institute is Perth’s premier medical research institute for adult diseases.

Their team name, based on the US Military Medal the “Purple Heart”, is to honour all those who are affected by cancer, and especially those who make the ultimate sacrifice. All members of the Purple Hearts team are passionate about supporting vital medical research at the Perkins to stop these devastating diseases in their tracks.

“Medical research is about hope and positively impacting future generations. At the Perkins Institute, they are striving to find more effective treatments for women’s cancers, with lesser side effects. They are also researching for earlier detection methods, and ultimately preventions.”

Since 2015, the Purple Hearts team have raised more than $300K for women’s cancers research at the Perkins Institute. In 2016 our brand founder Patricia joined the team to participate in the annual Walk for Women's Cancer, which raises vital funds for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

Bordoni Sport donates 5% of the purchase price for every product sold, which means every time you purchase a pair of leggings, or shoes or a microphone belt you are helping to fund research at the Perkins Institute, to find a cure for cancer.

This is not a once a year or once a collection thing, this is every single product, every single sale, every single time. Forever. We are committed to to the cause and aim to help raise as much money as possible for cancer research.
