Simon Kirby, MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, dons pink feather boa to show support for women with breast cancer.
Simon is encouraging his constituents to take part in Breast Cancer Now’s flagship fundraiser, Wear it Pink, on Friday, October 23.
Wear it Pink, the UK’s biggest pink fundraiser, calls on supporters across the country to ditch day-to-day colours and wear some pink to raise money for Breast Cancer Now’s life-saving breast cancer research.
Simon joined fellow parliamentarians in wearing it pink in Westminster last month to encourage people across the UK to get involved. Now in its 14th year, Wear it Pink raises over £2 million each year for world-class research into breast cancer.
Simon said: “Right now 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, and, in ‘Wear it Pink’, there is a fun and simple way for everyone to get involved.”
“Together, we can make a big difference for women with breast cancer, now and in the future; I hope everyone in Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven will join me in wearing it pink on Friday 23 October and show their support for Breast Cancer Now.”
