Ms Baillie showed her support by dressing up in pink recently and is encouraging her constituents to take part in Breast Cancer Now’s flagship fundraiser, Wear it Pink, on Friday, October 23.

Wear it pink, the UK’s biggest pink fundraiser, calls on supporters across the country to ditch the day-to-day colours and pull on some pink to raise money for Breast Cancer Now’s life-saving breast cancer research.

Ms Baillie joined fellow parliamentarians by wearing it pink in Holyrood this week to encourage people across Scotland to get involved.

Now in its 14th year, Wear it Pink raises over £2million each year for world-class research into breast cancer, and this year it is back and bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever before.

Anyone can take part, whether in school, at work or at home and all people have to do is wear something pink and donate whatever they can.

Ms Baillie said: “Right now breast cancer is at a tipping point.

“Every year in Scotland around 4,600 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and sadly nearly 1,000 people still lose their lives to the disease.

“This is why we all must come together to support Breast Cancer Now’s cutting-edge research, and, in wear it pink, there is a fun and simple way for everyone to get involved.

“Together, we can make a big difference for women with breast cancer, now and in the future; I hope everyone in Helensburgh and Lomond will join me in wearing it pink on Friday, October 23 and show their support for Breast Cancer Now.”
