A BRADFORD MP will join the fight against breast cancer by wearing pink in parliament.
David Ward, who represents Bradford East, will sport a pink jacket for the Breast Cancer Campaign's Wear it Pink Day, which has the theme 'look good, do good' and is on October 24.
People across the country are encouraged to wear pink in work, at home or at school to help raise money for breast cancer research.
Mr Ward said: "Every year in the UK over 50,000 women and around 350 men are diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly, 12,000 women and 80 men die from this disease each year.
"This is why we need to support the Breast Cancer Campaign's fundraising efforts to support world-class breast cancer research that saves and improves lives, giving people quicker diagnoses and more effective treatments.
“I hope as many Bradfordians as possible will join me by wearing it pink on October 24 and showing their support for breast cancer research.”
