Be a smartie pants to beat cervical cancer
8:00am Monday 25th January 2010 in
WITH January being Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, people are being urged to raise cash for cancer research by becoming “smartie pants”.
They can do it by holding a dress in purple day or enjoying a purple party at work or school – or even playing Cancer Research UK’s smartie pants quiz.
The aim is to raise cash for research into finding a cure.
Cervical cancer is said to be the 12th most common cancer in women in the UK.
Visit cancerresearchuk.org or call 08701 40 60 201 to register for a fund-raising pack.
