FORMER athlete and Breast Cancer Care Ambassador Denise Lewis OBE is calling on readers to unite for tomorrow’s World Cancer Day by taking part in a simple but life-changing act to raise breast cancer awareness – wearing a Unity Band®
In a letter to The Standard she wrote: “Like many of your readers, I’ve had close family and friends affected by breast cancer.
“The Unity Band is made of two parts, knotted together, to represent strength in unity and the power of what can be achieved when people join forces.
“There are three pink Unity Bands to collect this World Cancer Day – so get yours now at Asda superstores throughout the Midlands for a suggested donation of £2.
“Each pink Unity Band bought at Asda will raise money for the two leading breast cancer charities – Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Now.
“Over the last 20 years, Asda’s Tickled Pink campaign has helped Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Now provide life-changing tailored care, support and information for anyone affected by breast cancer, as well as funding life-saving research into this devastating disease.
“Please join me this World Cancer Day and unite for people with breast cancer #ActofUnity.
“Thank you.”
