Every year, wear it pink raises around £2 million during Breast Cancer Awareness Month for the UK’s largest breast cancer charity, Breast Cancer Now. This year people are asked to wear something pink and donate whatever they can. The money raised is used to fund world-class breast cancer researchers across the UK and Ireland.

Rosie joined fellow parliamentarians in wearing it pink in Westminster and said: “50,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK, and sadly around 11,500 women and 80 men will lose their lives to the disease. On October 21st, Wear It Pink and join hundreds of thousands of people across the county in a simple and fun way to raise funds and awareness and show support for Breast Cancer Now.”
