Huddersfield Reds Pink Day

On Saturday at Huddersfield, Barnsley fans are holding a Pink day if you see somebody rattling a bucket please chuck some change in Huddersfield and Barnsley fans. The idea behind this is to raise awareness of a deadly disease. Now, I know pink isn't for everyone, and I understand our pink third kit is like Marmite, but just have a read of these facts below...

i. #BreastCancerAwareness: It’s the UK’s most common cancer, with 55,000 new cases every year.
ii. Men Get It Too: While 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed, around 370 men are affected annually.
iii. Survival is Up: 76% of women survive breast cancer for 10+ years thanks to early detection and better treatments.
iv. Age Matters: Most cases happen in women over 50, but younger women aren’t immune.
v. Get Screened: Women aged 50-70 can get free mammograms every 3 years via the NHS. Early detection saves lives!……….https://www.justgiving.com/page/pink-shirt-day-1723628067044?utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=page%2Fpink-shirt-day-1723628067044&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=pfp-share

Be part of something brilliant and join the cause of raising awareness. Whether this is by joining many of us in the third shirt or even just a £5 Primark pink t-shirt, hoodie, hat or scarf, it still helps to raise awareness.

Clever move this. Benefits a good cause and deflects the embarrassment of the team ¹ to wear that hideous third kit!
