This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month and as a homage to the many valuable charities that raise money to help research treatment, cures and support sufferers, women all over the country are donning pink. Be it clothing, shoes, underwear or even pink hair, all shades of the girly colour are being seen on celebrities. Inspired by daring fuchsia or baby soft shades, pink can be a colour worn by the masses and should be worn in celebration especially this October.
• You could dress yourself and your daughter in a pink velour tracksuit as you complete Breast Cancer Havens high-Heel-a-thon which is a 2km stroll in your best heels wearing something pink at the same time. Kimberly Walsh from Girls Aloud completed the first stroll ever in Leeds on September 27th.
• Or you could really set yourself a challenge and enter the Pedal It Pink, a women’s only cycle event with a half marathon or full marathon distance to choose from. Olympic Cycling Champion Victoria Pendleton will be donning her pink cycling shorts this year.
• Pink Fridays have been created by Breast Cancer Care to help raise money by organising events on every Friday of October. GMTV host Jenni Falconer has organised a pink clothes swap with her friends and you could do the same. Other events include wearing pink to the office or having a pink tea party.
• It is not just the stars that are showing their support for this awareness month however. Companies are donating profits from the sale of specially made products to breast cancer charities, so you can do your bit and shop at the same time! Asda and Damart have teamed up and designed a limited edition pink camisole top and pair of over the knee socks which have been modelled by Kristina Rihanoff, one of the professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing, with proceeds going to Breast cancer Campaign. Make-up giants Estée Lauder and their awareness Ambassador Elizabeth Hurley have created a pink lipstick collection with the profits going to the Breast Cancer research Foundation.
So whether you decide to dress up with your daughter in a pink velour tracksuit, bake some pink cup cakes or get on your bike, you will be doing so much good for the charities which fund the research and development of treatments and cures. Your support will also help the sufferers of cancer, those who have recovered from the disease and the families who have tragically lost a daughter, mother or grandmother to breast cancer.
