Stanmore estate agents wear pink for Breakthrough Breast Cancer

WORKERS across the borough wore pink on Friday (30/10) at the culmination of 31 days of fundraising for Breakthrough Breast Cancer's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Patients and clinicians at private hospital The Clementine Churchill Hospital in Sudbury Hill, Harrow on the Hill, generated £360 after participants donned the signature colour and sold pink cupcakes.
Organiser Nicky Bhatt, women's health physiotherapist, said: "It's been a great success and the informal atmosphere has encouraged patients to form friendships and on going support outside the realms of the hospital."
Employees at Preston Bennett estate agents' branch in Church Road, Stanmore, shed their usual suited and booted image in aid of 'Wear It Pink' day.
Press spokesman Jeff Galatin said: "Estate agents sometimes have a reserved image, but the company revealed its fun pink side".
In wearing the fuchsia attire, they have so far raised £250 and are expecting more funds to follow.
Throughout October, staff at Debenhams in Station Road, Harrow, wore pink T-shirts and customers ate pink glittery fairy cakes in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Alongside the fundraising, staff handed out cards promoting breast cancer awareness and store spokesperson Nicola Trucker said it was "a good feeling to see people go the extra mile".
Last year, Breakthrough Breast Cancer raised £3.5million nationwide for 'Wear It Pink' day.
