Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, has joined the fight against breast cancer by taking part in Breast Cancer Campaign’s flagship campaign, wear it pink day.
Stephen McPartland MP said, "Every year in the UK over 50,000 women and around 350 men are diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly, 12,000 women and 80 men 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.If you are holding an event in support of wear it pink day just let me know as I have agreed to attend as many locally as I can."
The theme of wear it pink this year is to ‘look good, do good’ in support of breast cancer research. On Friday 24 October people across the country will come together to find fun and stylish ways to wear it 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.
