October for me is a month of halloween costumes, wrapping up warm, watching Strictly and eating casseroles and soups, but it is also a month where I try and dedicate some time to arrange a party or get-together of somesorts. Not just any get-together but one which will help raise some money for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I don’t think i know anyone who isn’t affected by cancer, whether that be themselves, a friend or a member of their family and breast cancer is one strain which I have come across most often. I like to do my bit for charity and always try and donate here and there whenever a friend of mine is raising funds for charity.  For example, one of my friends ran The Great North Run last month for Breakthrough Breast Cancer and she managed to raise over £800 which was great!

Breakthrough Breast Cancer Month in October is where you can do your bit for the charity. It can be something as small as a little dinner party to something as big as a big cake sale, whatever size of event you arrange is great and as the saying goes ‘every little helps’.

So, after a bit of whaffling here are a few ideas of what you can do during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to help you become tickled pink!
