Colne Valley MP Jason McCartney will don his best pink outfit in the fight against breast cancer when he takes part in Breast Cancer Campaign’s flagship fundraiser, Wear It Pink day.
He hopes to be one of many who get in the pink on Friday October 24 along with people from across the country to help raise much-needed cash for the Breast Cancer Campaign to fund lifesaving breast cancer research.
Commenting on his decision to join the fundraising mission, Jason, said: “Every year in the UK over 50,000 women and around 350 men are diagnosed with breast cancer and sadly, 12,000 women and 80 men die from this disease each year.
“This is why we need to support fundraising efforts to support world-class breast cancer research that saves and improves lives, giving people quicker diagnoses and more effective treatments. I hope you’ll all join me by wearing it pink on Friday 24 October and showing your support for breast cancer research.”
