Can Assist Gunnedah are on track to launch their colourful new calendar to help raise vital funds for cancer survivors and supporters early next month.
Breast cancer survivor and Can Assist President Kate Knight said the 14-month calendar was a huge community effort and brought together ten Gunnedah photographers and dozens of local survivors.
"This calendar shows that cancer survivors can go on to have wonderful lives," she said.
"I think it's brought the community together as well."

With no two pictures the same and a different theme for each month Ms Knight described the project as a fun and bright experience.
"I can vouch that the calendar looks superb."
Ms Knight said the funds raised from the calendar will go towards financially assisting local patients and their families.
"The money we raise stays locally," she said
"When you're diagnosed with cancer you don't want to be thinking about how am I going to pay for this."
The calendar was made possible by the collaborative efforts of Can Assist, Two Cats Creative and major sponsor Pirtek.
Marie Low from Two Cats Creative said the the company was honoured to be involved in such an important project.
"It's a really good cause," Ms Low said.
"I myself did a photoshoot with women who had a masectomy.
"It was just a wonderful experience to get them together and openly talk about it."
Known in the Gunnedah for their spirit of fun and positivity, Ms Low was confident the community would get behind Can Assist and their fundraising project.
"It's there's a lot of people who are going to be really excited to see it," she said.
"It's a really fun, easy, and practical way to support Can Assist."
The calendar is set to launch on November 6 and will be available for purchase for $30 from select Gunnedah retailers.
