Portsmouth garage raises awareness of male breast cancer

Staff at Halls Garage in Portsmouth have donned pink tutus and fairy wings to raise awareness of male breast cancer and collect funds for Breast Cancer Now, the Portsmouth News has reported.

Technician Nigel Bell organised the event to take place on national ‘wear it pink’ day.

He said: “I just want more men to be aware of it, men need to be checking themselves and they just don’t.

“I work in a garage with mostly male employees and thought this would be a perfect environment to have such an event.

“If we save one life it’s worth it.”

The team at Halls Garage all got in the spirit to help with the fundraising, and Nigel’s daughter baked some ‘Think Pink’ cupcakes to raise extra cash.

So far, they have raised hundreds of pounds from their event.

Donations can still be made via Nigel’s Just Giving page.
