This recession busting fundraiser is affordable and easy to take part in, giving everyone the chance to help make a difference.

Commenting on this year's campaign, Lesley Griffiths AM said: "Every year over 2,400 women in Wales are diagnosed with breast cancer and like many others, I know people who have lost friends and family members to the disease. I would like to encourage everyone in Wrexham and throughout the country to support wear it pink on October 30, to raise valuable funds for breast cancer research.”
