Unleash your inner pink

Unleash your inner pink

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so why not get your workmates, friends or family together and have a Pink Friday?

A Pink Friday can be whatever you want it to be – as long as it’s pink, it’s fun and it raises money for Breast Cancer Care. And if Friday doesn’t work for you, just pick a day that does.

By unleashing your inner pink for one day this October, you can help support people affected by breast cancer 365 days a year.

‘I've been an ambassador for Breast Cancer Care for five years now and I always look forward to October. It's a chance to get all my friends and family together, have fun and make a real difference. Three thousand people people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this October alone. By holding a Pink Friday party, however small, you will help to ensure Breast Cancer Care can be there for each and every one of them. I'm going to see if I can organise one in the office this year - it's about time they donned some silly pink outfits!’

How your money helps:

£10 pays for an easy-to-understand pack of information for someone recently diagnosed with breast cancer

£52 pays for a personal appointment with our ‘HeadStrong’ service to help someone cope with the distress of hair loss from cancer treatment

£132 pays for someone with breast cancer to receive regular support from a specially trained volunteer who has had a similar experience and understands what they’re going through

Every 11 minutes someone is diagnosed with breast cancer. My grandmother was one such person and as a family we know first-hand how difficult it is to come to terms with. It rocks your world and you re-evaluate everything that’s important to you. Raising money for other people affected by breast cancer is important to me and that’s why I’m encouraging everyone to hold a Pink Friday party in aid of Breast Cancer Care. You can do whatever you want, wherever you want so get planning right now!
