WTC Connect show their support for 'Bangers to Breast Cancer' fundraiser
WTC Connect's Vicky Machin thought she would like to do something to remember fellow club member, Michelle Kent's Mum, who sadly died from breast cancer nearly four years ago.
On 9th February Vicky decided to post a picture of herself on Facebook wearing a bra and then asking others to do the same and to donate money to Breast Cancer Care (the only UK-wide charity providing specialist support and expert information for anyone affected by breast cancer).
The initiative is open to all as photos can be posted with or without clothes under the bra. Michelle quickly followed suit and the number of participants quickly grew. Michelle's husband Mike decided to use the Just Giving website for all the donations so "Bangers to Cancer" was born.
Quite staggeringly the donations total reached £1573 in 8 days and as this article went to press the figure stood at £2144.
Team photos are being invited, with WTC Connect leading the way (CLICK HERE) Anyone who is interested in showing their support individually or as a team can find more information on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/521370571309301/ or via Twitter (@bangerstocancer).
