I recently joined the fight against breast cancer by taking part in Breast Cancer Campaign’s biggest (and pinkest) fundraiser, wear it pink day. Over the last 10 years wear it pink has raised a staggering £23 million and on Friday 25 October 2013 people will come together in schools, colleges and businesses throughout the country to raise vital funds for Breast Cancer Campaign’s lifesaving research.
The reality is that every year in the UK around 50,000 women and around 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly 12,000 women and 80 men die from this disease. This is why we need to support Breast Cancer Campaign’s fundraising efforts so they can continue to fund research which will one day lead to a cure. So join me, wear something pink on the 25th October and donate £2, it’s really as simple as that. You can give more, or do more, if you want!
If you want to get involved and have not already done so contact: www.wearitpink.org or call 0800 107 3104. Breast cancer is a terrible killer. I am delighted to support the efforts to beat it.
