MONMOUTH AM Nick Ramsay added a splash of pink to his usual attire to support Breast Cancer Now’s Wear it Pink fundraiser, which will take place on Friday 19th October to raise money for vital breast cancer research.

Nick, who was joined by over 30 other members of the Welsh Assembly in Cardiff last week, is calling for his constituents to join him as well as thousands of others across the UK, to sign up and take part in wear it pink during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Anyone can take part in Wear it Pink, whether at work, school or in your community. All you need to do is wear something pink, or hold a pink themed event, and donate to Breast Cancer Now. With every penny raised, fundraisers across the UK will be helping the charity achieve its aim that, if we all act now, by 2050 everyone who develops breast cancer will live, and live well.

Nick will continue his support by joining over 20 AMs across the country as a Breast Cancer Now Ambassador, advocating breast cancer issues and support for the charity’s research both in Monmouthshire] and nationally.

“Breast cancer is still the most common form of cancer in the UK,” said Mr Ramsay. “Each year around 11,500 women and 80 men lose their lives to the disease. That’s why I’m so passionate about encouraging everyone in Monmouthshire to take part in wear it pink day on Friday 19th October. 

“Wear it Pink is great way to come together with friends and family to have fun whilst raising money for Breast Cancer Now’s vital research. As you can see from my photograph, all it takes is an additional splash of pink to your normal outfit!”
