Event to raise funds for Breast Cancer charity in the Wye Valley

A CHARITY event is taking place to raise vital funds for Breast Cancer while helping spread further awareness in the community.

The event, hosted by Wye Valley Flowers is taking place on September 5 from 10am until 1pm and it is the 10th anniversary of their first ‘Boob-a-thon’.

The occasion is raising funding for Breast Cancer Now, the leading charity raising funding to improve research looking into how breast cancer spreads and develops while investigating new and better treatments.

According to Breast Cancer Now, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every nine minutes and a man is diagnosed every day.

Throughout the day their will be lots of activities, including a chance to make a heart shaped post-surgery cushion, try a treatment, browse stalls or just socialise and have a cup of tea.

The flower shop offers a full range of floristry and floral design services from: gift bouquets to weddings, funeral tributes, and events.
