Organiser Sue Stannard, from Caythorpe, said: “Participants had a lot of fun last year, and I hope this year’s event will be bigger and better. I loved some of the fancy dress and hope we’ll get more of that as there will be a prize for the best. It can be a great day out for family and friends, not just for the ladies.”
She added: “Men get breast cancer, too, although the numbers for that are quite small, and of course so many of them see their wives, partners, mothers or friends go through treatment for this horrible disease. There are some extraordinary breakthroughs coming out of current research projects, many of them part-funded by Breast Cancer Now, and that is what makes me feel so passionately about supporting the charity.”
