BLAENAU Gwent’s MP Nick Smith 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, October 24 the Breast Cancer Campaign is hoping 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.
Mr Smith said: “With the In the Pink charity based in Blaenau Gwent raising more than £1m over the past 12 years, Blaenau Gwent has a proud history of backing breast cancer research.
Every year in the UK around 50,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer, and 12,000 women and 80 men die from the disease each year.
