BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Be the orange in the pink
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is nearly here, and this year IBC Awareness Day falls on Sunday 4th October 2026.
Last year, supporters across the UK stood out from the pink and turned October orange – wearing, hosting and fundraising to raise vital awareness of the symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC).
Together, we reached thousands of people who had never even heard of this rare, aggressive and often overlooked form of breast cancer.
Now we’re back – bigger, bolder and brighter – for Wear It Orange 2026.
