Dundee Liberal Democrats are today (Friday 27th October) lending their support to the Breast Cancer Campaign in its award winning 'wear it pink' day - taking place today - as part of breast cancer awareness month. Cllr Helen Dick, Dundee LibDem councillor for Strathmartine Ward, said, "We are encouraging people to donate £2 to Breast Cancer Campaign and to show support by dressing in pink, the brighter the better, to mark the occasion. "Every year, breast cancer will take the lives of over 13,000 people in the UK, and its vital that we give support to the valuable work of Breast Cancer Campaign and others. This work relies on public donations on carry on, and 'wear it pink' day gives people a great chance to show their support for this dreadfully worthwhile cause." Donations made 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. Last year, fun loving "pinkies" raised £1.69 million, and this year's target has been upped to £2.1 million.

Its aim is to find the cure for breast cancer by funding research which looks at improving diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, better understanding how it develops and ultimately either curing the disease or preventing it. BCC currently supports 69 research projects, worth over £9 million in 47 centres of excellence across the UK. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, accounting for nearly one in three of all cancers in women. Every year in the UK, over 41,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women. This works out as 3,400 new cases per month, nearly 800 per week and over 110 a day. Related Links:
