PENDLE MP Andrew Stephenson has joined the fight against breast cancer by promising to wear pink on October 24.

Breast Cancer Campaign’s flagship fundraiser, ‘Wear it Pink Day’ urges everyone to wear something pink to raise awareness of the campaign.

The theme of wear it pink this year is to ‘look good, do good’ in support of breast cancer research.

He says “Every year in the UK more than 50,000 women and around 350 men are diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly, 12,000 women and 80 men die from this disease each year.

“This is why we need to support Breast Cancer Campaign’s fundraising efforts to support world-class breast cancer research that saves and improves lives, giving people quicker diagnoses and more effective treatments.”
