This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so I’m encouraging everyone to think pink and support Cancer Research UK in its bid to raise funds to continue its life-saving work.  A sobering fact is that one out of nine women will develop breast cancer at some point in their life - so the probability is that most of us will know someone who has.  A very good friend of mine was  diagnosed with breast cancer in May, and so I’ve decided this year to actually get off my backside and do something to help -  so I’ve signed up for a fundraising pack and I’m going to hold a “Dress In Pink” day at work and charge everyone £2 to wear something pink to work - and fine them £5 if they don’t!!!

Now because the guys and girls at our place are a little busy at the moment, they’ve asked me to compile a guide for them of what
they can buy in pink from the getthelabel.com site to wear on my “Dress In Pink” day - any excuse for them to shop!  So, I thought I’d share it with you too in case you decide to do something similar.  If you don’t fancy the idea of a “Dress in Pink” day, then don’t worry there are lots of other ways you can raise money - look on the cancerreseachuk.org website under their fundraising page for a list of suggestions.
