Stephen Metcalfe, local MP
for South Basildon and East Thurrock, has joined the fight against breast
cancer by taking part in Breast Cancer Campaign’s biggest (and pinkest)
fundraiser, wear it pink day.
Over the last 10 years
wear it pink has raised a staggering £23 million and on Friday 25 October
2013 people will come together in schools, colleges and businesses throughout
the country to raise vital funds for Breast Cancer Campaign’s lifesaving
research.
Mr Metcalfe commented:
“Every year in the UK around 50,000 women and around 400 men are diagnosed with
breast cancer. Sadly 12,000 women and 80 men die from this disease. This is why
we need to support Breast Cancer Campaign’s fundraising efforts so they can
continue to fund research which will one day lead to a cure. So join me, wear
something pink and donate £2, it’s really as simple as that.”
The Breast Cancer Campaign
vitally needs the money raised from wear it pink for its researchers to have
the best possible chance to find the cure.
