Mohammad Asghar, National Assembly Member for South Wales East, is joining forces with Breast Cancer Campaign to raise awareness of its award-winning fundraising event, wear it pink, on Friday October 29th, 2010.
Supporters in schools, colleges and businesses through the country are encouraged to don an item of pink in support of Campaign and each donate £2 to fund innovative world-class breast cancer research.
Last year, over one million people took part in wear it pink to help improve survival rates for the one in nine women who experience breast cancer during their lifetime.
Mr Asghar says: “It is estimated that there are around 22,000 women and 150 men alive in Wales that have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
“I know people who have lost friends and family members to the disease and would like to encourage everyone in South Wales East – and throughout Wales and the UK – to support wear it pink on October 29th, to raise valuable funds for breast cancer research”.
