Darren Millar, AM for Clwyd West is joining forces with other North Wales AMs Mark Isherwood and Janet Finch- Saunders to raise awareness of Breast Cancer Campaign’s award winning fundraising event, wear it pink day, supported by Vanish.
On Friday 28 October 2011 supporters in schools, colleges and businesses throughout 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 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.
Darren Millar AM said:
“I am happy to support the wear it pink campaign. After all, it is estimated that there are around 22,000 women and 150 men alive in Wales that have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Mark Isherwood AM said:
“I know people who have lost friends and family members to the disease and would like to encourage everyone in North Wales and throughout the country to support wear it pink on October 28.”
Janet Finch- Saunders AM said: “This is a fantastic campaign which will raise valuable funds for breast cancer research.”
