Stephen
Metcalfe MP speaks up for Breast Cancer awareness
Local MP Stephen Metcalfe has joined the fight against breast
cancer by taking part in Breast Cancer Campaign’s flagship fundraiser, wear it pink day.
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 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.
Stephen Metcalfe commented: “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.
It is therefore vital that we all show
our support for such an amazing cause, which will help fund world-class
research, which will save and improve lives, and give people quicker diagnoses
and more effective treatments.
I hope you’ll all join me by wearing it
pink on Friday 24 October, and show support for breast cancer research!”
