October is month that is used for Stoptober, but it is also Breast Cancer Awareness month. This whole month is about pink and there is lots of fund raising and raising awareness going on.
Breast Cancer Campaign has it's Wear It Pink day on 25th. Everyone can get involved not matter where you are, school, work or on the streets, wear pink and show your support.
Cancer Research UK has a fund raising pack that can be registered that also provides ideas of events that can be organised and participated in.
Against Breast Cancer has joined force with Lorraine and have launched their Bin Your Bra campaign. Take the pink promise and take your bra down to your local House of Fraser to drop it one of the bins. Stores that are participating can be found through the website but you can also send them in. The bras get recycled and sent to Africa for the women there and Against Breast Cancer get £1000 for each kilo donated.
Breakthrough Breast Cancer wants every women to know how to check for the signs so have a free TLC guide which you can either text to get or register online for.
For the 17th year Asda has launched it's Tickled Pink campaign. Throughout stores various items are turned pink and small amounts of the price are donated to 2 charities - Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Campaign. The stores also have various fund raising activities for customers to get involved with.
Do your part this month.
