BREAST CANCER NOW WEAR IT PINK DAY – 23rd October – Breast Cancer Now’s wear it pink day is one of the biggest fundraising events in the UK. Taking place during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, thousands of amazing people wear it pink in their communities, schools or work places for the UK’s largest breast cancer charity, Breast Cancer Now.
Together, we’ve been wearing it pink for over 20 years. You’ve dressed up, baked, quizzed and pulled off all kinds of incredible sponsored challenges. You’ve had a whole lot of fun and raised over £37 million in the process.
We’re so proud of what we’ve achieved together, but we can’t stop there. People affected by breast cancer need us – and they need you too.
In the last few years, our researchers missed over 230,000 hours in their labs. That’s 230,000 hours where they couldn’t experiment, study breast cancer, and make breakthroughs. Despite these setbacks, we’ve never been more determined to reach our goal – by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live, and be supported to live well.
