Written by YGTV Team on 03 October 2016.

Cancer Research's Think Pink Day will take place on Friday 7th October 2016, and the following day the annual Walk For Life will start off at Casemates Square.

A spokesman for Cancer Research UK's Gibraltar Branch said: "Once again we would like as many people as possible to wear an item of pink clothing on this day in order to create an increased awareness of breast cancer and therefore improve early detection and treatment. The charity would like to encourage employers to support the day by allowing employees to wear pink on the day and we trust that the public will respond as positively as they always do.

"Our pink t-shirts can be purchased by either calling 56331000 or 20077165 or alternatively by sending us an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. – they are priced at £5 each and are available in small, medium, large and extra large.

"The annual WALK FOR LIFE also organised by the Gibraltar Branch of Cancer Research UK, will take place on Saturday 8th October 2016.

"This is the very popular sponsored walk for all ages and abilities, an event which last year attracted well over 1000 participants.

"We are seeking the participation and support of Men, Women, Children and their pets for a 5km walk. This will set off at 11am from Casemates Square, along Main Street, onto Queensway, Europort Avenue, Waterport Road and back to finish at Casemates.

"Those wishing to participate need just turn up on the day with a £5.00 registration fee. Registration will commence at Casemates as from 9.00am with warm ups by GIBFIT (Janine Pereira) starting at 10.45am.

"Hope to see you all there once again supporting Cancer Research UK!"
