Bras for Aly

by

As part of our work for skincare specialists Laserase Bolton, we're helping to organise a Breast Cancer Care event at its clinic at Royal Bolton Hospital on 23 October.

One of Laserase's nurses - Alyson Porter - died in July from breast cancer. Alyson had fought and won the right to be prescribed the drug Herceptin by Royal Bolton Hospital a few years ago and, as a result, many other women suffering from cancer have benefitted from the drug which can increase life expectancy.

Laserase Bolton is asking that women send in old bras with a donation and hopes to get a mile of bras (1800!!) which will be hung up on a washing line around the premises. The bras in turn will go to Oxfam to send to women in the developing world.

We're really eager for every one to get involved, so if you have a bra to donate and live locally, please take it to Laserase Bolton - or even better - come along to the clinic and support Breast Cancer Care between 11am and 2pm on the 23 October - it's sure to be a good bash!
