CUNNINGHAME North MSP Kenneth Gibson has joined the fight against breast cancer by taking part in Breast Cancer Campaign’s flagship fundraiser, Wear It Pink day.
The theme of Wear It Pink this year is to ‘look good, do good’ in support of breast cancer research.
On Friday, October 24 people across the country will come together to find fun and stylish ways to wear pink in the office, at home or at school.
Donations raised by this year’s fashion inspired event will go to Breast Cancer Campaign to fund lifesaving breast cancer research.
Mr Gibson said: “Every year in Scotland more than 4,500 women are diagnosed with breast cancer.
“Sadly, more than 1,000 die from this disease each year.
“This is why we need to support Breast Cancer Campaign’s fundraising efforts to support world-class breast cancer research that saves and improves lives, giving people quicker diagnoses and more effective treatments.
I hope Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald readers will join me and wear it pink on Friday and show support for breast cancer research.” For more information or to register for wear it pink and receive your fundraising pack visit http://www.wearitpink.org.
