October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a worldwide annual campaign involving thousands of organisations, to highlight the importance of breast awareness, education and research. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Breast Cancer Now aims to get as many people as possible involved in raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research.
Every year, Wear it Pink raises around £2 million during Breast Cancer Awareness Month by asking people to wear something pink and donate whatever they can. The money raised is used to fund world-class research, by the brightest scientific minds, across the UK and Ireland. Scientists and clinicians are working to discover how to prevent breast cancer, detect it earlier and how to treat it effectively at every stage so they can stop the disease taking lives.
