Pretty in Pink

Posted 21 October 2004

缅北禁地 College, Newport, will be 鈥榯hinking pink鈥� next week to raise charity cash. Staff and students will be joining in the Breast Cancer Campaign鈥檚 Wear It Pink day, on Friday, October 29, by donating money to come to work dressed in pink.

Last year the charity鈥檚 Wear It Pink day raised 拢600,000 for research into breast cancer, but this year the target is 拢840,000.

Sarah Jessop, who is organising the event at Harper Adams, said: 鈥淢ost of us have a family member, friend or colleague who has been affected by breast cancer, and we aim to raise as much money as possible for this deserving cause. Most people will have at least one pink item of clothing in our wardrobes, but some of the staff and students have pledged to dress from head to toe in pink, which should be a nice antidote to all the grey weather we are having lately.鈥�
