Isles MSP, Alasdair Allan, has shown support for women affected by breast cancer by dressing up in pink and encouraging islanders to take part in the UK’s biggest fundraiser next month.
The wear it pink campaign calls on supporters to add a flash of pink to their wardrobe
for the day and raise money for Breast Cancer Now’s life-
Alasdair Allan joined fellow parliamentarians in Holyrood to encourage people to support the charity's efforts.
Alasdair Allan commented: “Around 4,600 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in Scotland. Almost 1,000 people die from the disease. We must act now to stop this devastating disease in its tracks.
“Breast Cancer Now’s cutting edge research is making a huge difference. But we all need to join forces and act now, to do our bit to stop women dying from breast cancer by 2050. I’m fully behind the charity’s ambition and I support wear it pink.
“I hope everyone in the local community will join me by wearing it pink on Friday 21 October and show their support for Breast Cancer Now.”
