October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and today (22nd of October) is the Wear it Pink campaign; one of the biggest fundraising events in the UK where everyone can take part in donning their best pink attire.
With 55,000 women and 370 men diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK, Breast Cancer Awareness Month aims to raise awareness about breast cancer and the impact it has on individuals and families, in addition to increasing people’s knowledge about the disease.
