October is “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”, which was started in the 1980′s by the drug company Astra Zeneca, the company that makes Tamoxifen. Breast Cancer Awareness month is used to raise money for breast cancer charities and increase awareness of the disease.
In Huntly, on Friday October the 9th at 7pm, you can come along and be spoiled at a Pink Pamper Evening. Tickets cost £5 and include a glass of wine and nibbles. The money raised will go to Cancer Research UK. The event is being held in the Huntly Hotel and there is more information in this weeks Huntly Exrpess.
