Three Worcestershire organisations raised over £6,700 for breast cancer charities during October's awareness month.

Three Worcestershire organisations raised more than £6,700 for breast cancer charities during October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Worcester City Women FC collected £680 for Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven through a charity six-a-side tournament on 16 October and a 'Wear It Pink' match against Notts County Women on 18 October. A team from Worcester Bosch won the tournament's 'pink boot' trophy and also donated raffle prizes.

Gaudet Luce Golf Club's Pink Ladies raised £2,714.15 for Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven through a ladies' open golf competition. Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven is the only local breast cancer charity supporting solely Worcestershire patients, working with the NHS specialist breast care team and based at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

J Potter Community Fitness organised the Big Pink Journey from 14-21 October, where supporters walked, danced and exercised their way to 776 miles collectively, raising £3,330 for Breast Cancer Now. The original target was 315 miles and £1,500; the mileage target was exceeded within three days. Julia Potter, the founder, said the cause had personal meaning, having lost her mother to breast cancer at 56. She said 100 supporters contributed to the total and that members of the fitness community and their families had been affected by breast cancer.
