Breast Cancer Now’s wear it pink fundraiser takes place on Friday 18 October.

Since launching in 2002, wear it pink has raised over £33m. If you can, it would be great to support this campaign, helping to make possible life-saving breast cancer research and life changing support for those affected by the disease.

Every year in the UK, around 55,000 women and around 350 men are given the devastating news that they have breast cancer

Breast cancer still affects so many of us. The charity’s goal is that by 2050 everyone who develops breast cancer will live, and be supported to live well. The money raised from wear it pink is so crucial to this helping them to fund vital breast cancer research and support for those affected by the disease.

Anyone can take part in wear it pink. Some people will choose to hold a cake sale, while others will opt to organise a raffle and some will arrange a pink fancy dress day at their school or workplace. No matter how people chose to wear it pink, all the money raised will help to fund vital breast cancer research and support.
