DUNFERMLINE MSP Cara Hilton has joined the fight against breast cancer by taking part in Breast Cancer Campaign’s flagship fund-raiser, Wear It Pink Day.

The theme of Wear It Pink this year is to ‘look good, do good’ in support of breast cancer research.

Next Friday, people across the country will come together to find fun and stylish ways to wear pink in the office, at home or at school.

Donations raised by this year’s fashion-inspired event will go to Breast Cancer Campaign to fund life-saving breast cancer research.

Cara said, “Every year in Scotland more than 4500 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly, more than 1000 women die from this disease each year.

"This is why we need to support Breast Cancer Campaign’s fund-raising efforts to support world-class breast cancer research that saves and improves lives, giving people quicker diagnoses and more effective treatments.

" I hope you’ll all join me by wearing it pink to show your support for breast cancer research.” For more information or to register for wear it pink and receive your fundraising pack visit www.wearitpink.org.
