Fundraising for ‘Against Breast Cancer’ & ‘Cancer Research UK’
Here at Aurora Clinics, we are big believers in supporting fantastic causes and this year’s no different. In 2016 we’re supporting both Against Breast Cancer with the return of our bra recycling scheme and Cancer Research UK by participating in our very first team entry into the Race for Life 5k.
Bin your bra for Breast Cancer!
You might remember that in October 2014 we took part in the Bin your Bra campaign for Against Breast Cancer. We had such a good response that we decided to bring back the bra recycling scheme for 2016.
So if you’ve had a breast augmentation, a breast reduction or simply fancy having a clear out of your unwanted bras then please don’t just throw your bra into any bin! Throw it into our bra recycling bin!
Why recycle your bras?
For every tonne of bras received, Against Breast Cancer receive £1,000 to go towards vital research for better detection and increased survival rates after breast cancer diagnosis.
Your unwanted bras also go towards helping small businesses in Africa where the materials from these bras can be sold by traders locally. This type of recycling keeps many people both out of unemployment and more importantly out of poverty.
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far and if you’ve got an appointment scheduled at Aurora Clinics in Princes Risborough in the next few weeks and would like to help, please feel free to bring in your bras and help us to fight breast cancer!
Race for Life – Aylesbury and Falkirk 5K
The ladies at Aurora Clinics and our sister companies Aurora Skin Clinics and Cosmetic Courses are joining forces to raise money for Cancer Research UK by joining the #PinkArmy. A total of 17 of us have entered the Aylesbury Race for Life and 6 of our colleagues across the border the Falkirk Race for Life!
Almost every member of our team has been affected by cancer in some way. So by coming together and raising money for such a great cause hopefully we can go some way to beating cancer once and for all.
