JEANE Freeman MSP is rallying locals to support her in Wear it Pink for Breast Cancer next month.

The MSP for Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley added a dash of pink to her usual attire to support Breast Cancer Now’s wear it pink fundraiser, which takes place on Friday, October 18.

Jeane dressed in pink at the Scottish Parliament to support the flagship fundraiser which helps Breast Cancer Now fund vital breast cancer research and support.

The campaign has raised over £33 million since launching in 2002 and Jeane is now calling for her constituents to join her, by signing up for wear it pink and helping to fund world-class breast cancer research and life changing support for those affected by the disease.

Jeane said: “Every year in Scotland, around 4,700 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and over 1,000 women die of the disease .That’s why I’m encouraging my constituents to take part in Breast Cancer Now’s wear it pink day.

“The money raised by this wonderful event has such a huge impact, allowing Breast Cancer Now to fund vital research and support for those living with a diagnosis. I hope that everybody will wear it pink this October and support this very important cause.”
