Rhodri Glyn Thomas

Rhodri Glyn Thomas, AM for Carmarthen East & Dinefwr is joining forces with Breast Cancer Campaign to raise awareness of its award winning fundraising event, wear it pink, on Friday 29 October 2010.

Supporters in schools, colleges and businesses throughout the country are encouraged to don an item of pink in support of Campaign and each donate £2 to fund innovative world-class breast cancer research. Last year over one million people took part in wear it pink to help improve survival rates for the one in nine women who experience breast cancer during their lifetime.

Rhodri Glyn Thomas said:

“It is estimated that there are around 22,000 women and 150 men alive in Wales that have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I know people who have lost friends and family members to the disease and would like to encourage everyone in Carmarthenshire and throughout the country to support wear it pink on October 29 and to help raise valuable funds for breast cancer research.”
