Cancer Research Wales launches Stripe a Pose
Cancer Research Wales is running the 'Stripe a Pose' campaign to help fund its groundbreaking cancer research work in Wales
The campaign is inspired by the charity’s striped logo which is based on DNA gels that scientists use to find cancer cells.
People can also get involved with Stripe a Pose by posting photos of themselves in their stripey clothes on social media on 20 September and using the hashtag #StripeAPose
Adam Fletcher, Chief Executive Officer of Cancer Research Wales said:
“Cancer Research Wales is the independent Welsh cancer research charity and our mission is to unite Wales against cancer through world-class research.
“Today, we’re calling on the people of Wales to support us by joining in with Stripe a Pose at school, work or with their friends on 20 September.
“It’s easy to do - put on your best stripey socks, your favourite stripey t-shirt, your most colourful stripey jumper, your stripiest beanie hats or scarf and unite with us against cancer.
“You can also donate £1 or however much you’d like to Cancer Research Wales and join in the fun online by posting pictures of you in your favourite stripey clothes and using the hashtag #StripeAPose.
“1 in 2 of us will develop cancer and every week in Wales, 175 families lose a loved one to cancer, so please help us deliver hope to people affected by cancer in Wales by taking part in Stripe a Pose on 20 September.”
