South Wales East Plaid Cymru AM Lindsay Whittle has joined forces with Breast Cancer Campaign to raise awareness of the charity’s fundraising event, wear it pink day.
On Friday, October 28, supporters in schools, colleges and businesses are being encouraged to don an item of pink in support of the campaign and each donate £2 to fund world-class breast cancer research.
Last year hundreds of thousands people took part in wear it pink to help improve survival rates for the one in eight women who experience breast cancer during their lifetime.
Lindsay Whittle said: “It is estimated that there are around 22,000 women and 150 men alive in Wales that have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I would encourage everyone across South Wales to support wear it pink on October 28, to raise valuable funds for breast cancer research.”
