Help support Breast Cancer Care

Dear Editor

Many readers will be thinking of loved-ones during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, having seen the devastating impact breast cancer can have on a person’s body, emotional wellbeing and sense of identity. I’m encouraging everyone to gather friends, family or colleagues for a Big Pink party, on Friday 12 October, to support people living with and beyond breast cancer.

However you do yours, all money raised will help the charity continue to be there for the 691,000 people living with breast cancer in the UK today. As little as £30 could give someone the specialist information and support when they need it most through the Breast Cancer Care Helpline. Breast Cancer Care is not government funded so every penny you raise makes a huge difference.
