Curves in Blackpool

Curves in Blackpool held their event on a Sunday. We organized a pink horse ride around the local community which helped to raise awareness as well as donations for Breast Cancer Care.

Alice Gray made a heart-shaped cushion for a friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer to protect her wound after surgery. With help from a craft group, she made bigger quantities of the cushions and so far raised £800 for Breast Cancer Care.

'This may seem a simple thing but it does make a tremendous difference. Not only through providing physical relief but also knowing someone cares enough to make them something personal'

Share the experience

I’m very excited to be involved with Pink Fridays for the first time this year. I’m already dreaming about pink cupcakes and marshmallows. It might even be an excuse to buy some new pink shoes! On a serious note, my mum died of breast cancer when I was little, so I know only too well how scary it can be not only for the person with the illness but for their friends and families too. That’s why I’m encouraging everyone I know to have a Pink Friday party to ensure Breast Cancer Care can be there for anyone affected by breast cancer. Thank you.
