Breast Cancer affects both men and women and 26 October is Breast Cancer day.

The Pink Ribbon symbolises support for Breast Cancer research, and I would urge you to show your support for Breast Cancer day by making a donation and wearing a Pink Ribbon to show your support.

This free pattern is a Pink Ribbon motif that would be great stitched as part of a motif sampler or could be stitched on a handkerchief or just made into an embroidered badge to wear to show your support.
