Town Purns Pink For Charity Partners

A campaign to get Wrexham In The Pink for breast cancer care has been hailed an outstanding success by a national charity organiser.
Lucy Gilmore, of Breast Cancer Care Cymru, said: “They’ve done a fantastic job and we’ve been more than pleased with how it’s gone.”

The crusade was launched by three Wrexham firms, the care organisation, Pendine Park, accountants Coxeys and solicitors Cyril Jones and Co incorporating Stanley Williams.

They were busy fund-raising throughout October, Breast Cancer Awareness month, with the climax last Friday, October 24.

Faye Matthews, of Cyril Jones and Co, who kicked off the campaign, said: “We wanted to raise as much money as possible for Breast Cancer Awareness – and raise the profile of breast cancer issues at the same time.
“In the process we’ve had a lot of fun and involved a lot of people.

Along Grosvenor Road in the town Coxeys Accountants were also getting in the mood with Traci Morris, of Traci Morris Glass, bringing along her ceramic jewellery made from the material used to coat the nose cone of the space shuttle.

Care organisation Pendine Park have also made a big effort at their Wrexham homes and their efforts including a car wash, tea parties and hair-dressing events have raised a staggering £1600 plus.

Cindy Clutton, of, Gwern Alyn Home, said: “It’s gone fantastically well and we’ve all really enjoyed doing it – residents, staff and visitors.
“It’s such a worthwhile charity because breast cancer is something that affects everyone in a family.
