Stevenson Wears It Pink To Fund A Cure For Breast Cancer

Stewart Stevenson MSP for Banff & Buchan is joining forces with Breast Cancer Campaign to raise awareness of its award winning fundraising event, wear it pink day, supported by Vanish.

On Friday 29 October 2010 supporters in schools, colleges and businesses throughout the country are encouraged to don an item of pink in support of Campaign and each donate £2 to fund innovative world-class breast cancer research.

Last year over one million people took part in wear it pink to help improve survival rates for the one in nine women who experience breast cancer during their lifetime.

Stewart Stevenson says:

“It is estimated that there are over 38,000 women and 150 men alive in Scotland who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I know people who have lost friends and family members to the disease and would like to encourage everyone in my constituency/region of [insert name] and throughout the country to support wear it pink on October 29, to raise valuable funds for breast cancer research.”
