MSP shows she’s a true pink lady for cancer fund

Oct 30 2008 by Marjorie Kerr, West Lothian Courier

LIVINGSTON MSP Angela Constance is calling for West Lothian people to think pink and support cancer research.

Angela Constance is urging local people to help the Breast Cancer Campaign for its award-winning fundraising event, Wear It Pink, on Friday, October 31.

This year's theme is 'dare to wear' and the MSP is urging residents, young and old to get their craziest pink outfits on whether it’s a feather boa, or simply a tie.

Taking part in Wear it Pink couldn't be easier.

Whether you are in an office, at school, or simply popping to the shops, on October 31, donate £2 and wear an item of pink, the more daring the better.

Your donation will allow the campaign to continue funding innovative world class research across the UK.

Ms Constance said: “Every year over 4000 people in Scotland are diagnosed with breast cancer. Like many others, I know people who have lost friends and family members to breast cancer.

“I would like to encourage everyone in Livingston and throughout the country to support wear it pink on October 31, to raise valuable funds for breast cancer research.”

To help the campaign reach this year's target of £3.5 million, take part in the UK's original and best pink day.
