Local MSPs are daring to wear it pink
David Stewart, Rhoda Grant and Peter Peacock are joining forces with Breast Cancer Campaign for its award winning fundraising event, wear it pink, on Friday 31 October 2008.
This year’s theme is ‘dare to wear’ and all three MSPs are urging residents, young and old to get their craziest pink outfits on, be it a pink lab coat, feather boa, or simply a tie.
Taking part in wear it pink couldn’t be easier. Whether you are in an office, at school, or simply popping to the shops, on 31 October donate £2 and wear an item of pink, the more daring the better! Your donation will allow Campaign to continue funding innovative world class research across the UK.
Rhoda Grant MSP says "
"Every year over 4,000 people in Scotland are diagnosed with breast cancer. Like many others, I know people who have lost friends and family members to breast cancer. We would like to encourage everyone in the Highlands & Islands and throughout the country to support wear it pink on October 31, to raise valuable funds for breast cancer research."To help Campaign reach this year’s target of £3.5 million, take part in the UK’s original and best pink day.
