Breast cancer campaign

Angus MacNeil MP has shown support for families affected by breast cancer by dressing in pink and encouraging constituents to take part in the UK’s biggest fundraiser, wear it pink, taking place next month.

Wear it pink is back for its 15th year, calling on supporters across the country to add a flash of pink to their wardrobe for the day and raise money for Breast Cancer Now’s life-saving breast cancer research.

Angus MacNeil joined fellow parliamentarians in wearing it pink in Westminster to encourage people across the UK to get involved and help Breast Cancer Now towards their ambition that, by 2050, everyone that develops the disease will live.

The campaign raises close to £2 million each year for world-class research into breast cancer. Anyone can take part, whether at work, at home or at school - all they have to do is wear something pink and donate what they can.

Angus MacNeil said: “50,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK, and sadly around 11,500 women and 80 men will lose their lives to the disease. Together, we must put a stop to this.

“Through cutting-edge research, Breast Cancer Now is tackling the disease from all angles to ensure that, by 2050, everyone that develops the disease will live. But we all need to join forces and act now, and in wear it pink there is a fun and simple way for everyone to get involved.”
