Wendy Alexander, MSP for Paisley North is joining forces with Breast Cancer Campaign to raise awareness of for its award winning fundraising event, wear it pink, on Friday 30 October 2009.

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 and a half 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. This recession busting fundraiser is cheap and easy to take part in, giving everyone the chance to help make a difference.

Wendy Alexander MP says ““Every year over 4,000 women in Scotland are diagnosed with breast cancer and like many others, I know people who have lost friends and family members to the disease. I would like to encourage everyone in Renfrewshire and throughout the country to support wear it pink on October 30, to raise valuable funds for breast cancer research.”
