Henry Smith MP has given his support to Breast Cancer Now ahead of Wear It Pink, the charity’s flagship fundraiser, on Friday 23rd October.

Henry said;

“Breast cancer is at a tipping point. Every year in the UK around 50,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and sadly nearly 12,000 women still lose their lives to the disease.

“This is why we all must come together to support Breast Cancer Now’s cutting-edge research.

“Wear It Pink is a fun and simple way for everyone to get involved.

“I’m passionate about standing up for the women and families affected by the disease in Crawley, and I’m proud to join almost 200 other MPs and support Breast Cancer Now as a Breast Cancer Ambassador.”

Breast Cancer Now was launched in June 2015, following the merger of Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The charity has the ambition of ensuring that no one dies from the disease by 2050, and the organisation is the UK’s largest breast cancer charity.

In its 14th year, Wear It Pink raises over £2 million annually for world-class research into breast cancer, and this year it is back and bigger, brighter and bolder than ever before.

Anyone can take part, whether in school, at work or at home. All you have to do is wear something pink and donate whatever you can.
