Politicians support Breast Cancer Fundraiser

Virendra Sharma, MP for Ealing Southall, is supporting to Breast Cancer Now’s flagship fundraiser, wear it pink, which will see thousands of people across the UK adding a splash of pink to their outfits on Friday 20 October and raise vital funds for breast cancer research.

He's encouraging his constituents in join him, and sign up to take part in the UK’s biggest pink fundraiser.

The event, which takes place during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is in its 16th year and has raised over £30 million to date for Breast Cancer Now’s life-saving research.

He says: '' Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. One in eight women will face it in their lifetime, and every year around 11,500 women and 80 men lose their lives to the disease.

“Breast cancer affects so many people in Ealing Southall, so as a Breast Cancer Now Ambassador I am proud to take part in wear it pink to raise awareness of the impact of the disease locally and to support for Breast Cancer Now’s vital research. I hope that everybody in Ealing Southall will join me and wear it pink on Friday 20 October.''
