Crawley MP Peter Lamb joins Wear It Pink in support of Breast Cancer Now

Peter Lamb, MP for Crawley, joined Breast Cancer Now – recently the UK’s leading breast cancer charity – to Wear It Pink in Westminster. They’re wearing pink to help change the future of breast cancer.

Now in its 25th year, Wear It Pink has raised over £45 million since 2002. The campaign’s fundraising has gone towards funding life-saving science and life-changing support for everyone affected by breast cancer.

This year’s Westminster event, which took place during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, encouraged MPs from across the UK to wear pink in Parliament to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Peter Lamb, MP for Crawley, said: “I was proud to join Breast Cancer Now in Westminster to support Wear It Pink and stand with everyone affected by breast cancer."

“Breast cancer touches the lives of so many people in our community. And I was honoured to attend today’s event to support the amazing work Breast Cancer Now is doing to make sure that by 2050, everyone with breast cancer will live and live well."

“The event was a powerful reminder that there’s still work to be done to better support people living with this devastating disease across the UK.”

Claire Rowney, Chief Executive of Breast Cancer Now said: “We’re so grateful to [MP name] for supporting today’s Wear It Pink 25th anniversary event. Together, we must continue to raise awareness and improve support for people affected by breast cancer.”

“By Wearing It Pink this October, you’ll be helping us fund life-saving science and lifechanging support. And you’ll be helping us get closer to our goal, that by 2050, everyone with breast cancer will live and live well.”

Breast Cancer Now is calling on people across the UK to support its fundraising efforts to help improve outcomes for everyone affected by breast cancer. Inspired by Wear It Pink? Find out more ways to get involved and fundraise your way at wearitpink.org
