Annette Brooke 'wears it pink'!

Annette Brooke, MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, is joining forces with Breast Cancer Campaign in its award winning 'wear it pink' day on Friday 27 October 2006 as part of breast cancer awareness month.

By making a donation of just £2 you can dress as brightly as you like, as long as it's pink. Your donation will allow Breast Cancer Campaign to continue researching the cure and help the one woman in nine in the UK that will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. It's as simple as that. Last year our fun loving "pinkies" raised a staggering £1.69 million with our target £2.1 million this year.

Annette Brooke said:

"Every year over 13,000 people in the UK die from breast cancer. Last year I lost a close friend and colleague to the disease, and I know that it affects a significant number of my constituents.

"That is why I am supporting Breast Cancer Campaign's 'wear it pink' day. Encourage your family and friends to do the same. It's great fun and the money raised will go towards valuable breast cancer research."

Annette Brooke is the Joint Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on breast cancer. She took over the role after her colleague Patsy Calton MP died of the disease last year. Earlier this year Annette presented the first ever Patsy Calton Award for exceptional commitment to breast cancer issues by an MP. Patsy and Annette were elected as MPs in 2001, and shared an office and a researcher in Westminster.

Help Breast Cancer Campaign reach their target and take part in the UK's original and best pink day. To register and to receive your free fundraising pack either call freephone 0800 1073104; or visit www.wearitpink.co.uk
