'It is so simple to support the Breast Cancer Campaign in their latest campaign,' John Leech MP said, 'Wearing an item of pink to work or to school and donating £2 will raise money and promote awareness of the disease.'
'South Manchester has some of the worst breast screening rates in the country. I ran a petition to ask for local people's support in lobbying for an improvement to breast screening facilities. It is imperative that if we are going to combat this disease, preventative methods are taken more seriously.
'I welcome the opening of the new Nightingale Centre at Wythenshawe Hospital which will become a specialist centre in the fight against breast cancer.'
