Wear It Pink!

As part of the Breast Cancer Campaign week, I'm asking constituents to “Wear It Pink” on Friday 26 October 2007. The idea couldn’t be more simple. The Breast Cancer Campaign are asking everyone to donate £2 to the charity this Friday and wear an item of pink clothing. The money will allow Campaign to continue researching the cure and help the one woman in nine in the UK that will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

Last year’s “Wear It Pink” day raised a whopping £3 million for breast cancer research and helped to fund over 40 new research projects in the United Kingdom. This year Breast Cancer Campaign hopes to raise even more.

Every year over 44,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer. I would like to encourage everyone in my constituency of Edmonton and throughout the country to enter into the spirit of the day and wear something pink, like me, on October 26 to help raise valuable funds for breast cancer research. If I can wear a pink outfit like this, so can you!
