Dave Thompson MSP

Dave Thompson SNP MSP for the Highlands & Islands will be supporting the Breast Cancer Campaign's 'wear it pink' campaign this Friday (30 Oct).

Dave said: "I am delighted to be wearing it pink for the 3rd year in a row this Friday which will see individuals, groups and families wearing pink and donating £2 each to the campaign.

"Over 1000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer in the north of Scotland each year and there are few folk who have not been touched in some way by the disease whether through personal experience or seeing family, friends or work colleagues affected.

"This is a massively important issue and the Breast  Cancer Campaign funds many research projects across Scotland and the UK which are battling against breast cancer.  I urge as many people as possible to help in that fight and wear it pink this Friday.
