PLAID AM Nerys Evans is joining forces with Breast Cancer Campaign to raise awareness of its award winning fund-raising event, Wear it Pink, today (Friday).

Supporters in schools, colleges and businesses throughout the country are encouraged to don an item of pink in support of the 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.

Nerys Evans AM 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 my region and throughout the country to support Wear it Pink, to raise valuable funds for breast cancer research."
