Wear It Pink this October

14/08/2017

Join Breast Cancer Now this October for the UK’s biggest pink fundraiser, Wear It Pink.

Wear it pink, Breast Cancer Now’s flagship fundraiser, takes place on Friday 20 October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to raise money for life-saving breast cancer research.

To get involved, all you have to do is ditch your everyday colours, pull on some pink, and fundraise to help Breast Cancer Now achieve its aim – that by 2050 everyone who develops breast cancer will live.

Breast Cancer is a devastating disease. Around 250 women in Cardiff are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and around 48 women in Cardiff lose their lives to the disease. Last year 237 fundraisers across Cardiff got involved in wear it pink and raised an amazing £11,916 for Breast Cancer Now’s vital breast cancer research.

Wear it pink is for everyone and there are lots of ways for people in Cardiff to get involved – whether it’s at school, work or in the local community. You can try a wacky pink tie competition at work, host a pink cake decorating night in your community, or organise a pink party at school with bunting galore.
