On Sunday Sisley Cornwall went all pink and bashful... well... not very bashful... but VERY pink in support of a wonderful local mum and breast cancer survivor!
The wonderful Sally Hicks-Wood started the Race for Life at 11am on Sunday morning and asked as many shops in Falmouth as possible to 'go pink' to mark the ocassion.
1,475 women made their way along on the 5km route from Gyllyngvase Beach Car Park along to seafront to raise money for research into cancer and we were delighted to support her by turning the shop PINK!!!
Here are our lovely mannequins proudly displaying their
very pink wigs (rather fetching don't you think?) in readiness for a big PINK WIGS night out on Saturday which we're really looking forward to!
Are you going too?
Sally who is a mum of two, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. She found a lump purely by chance, had it checked and tests revealed she had aggressive cancer that had spread to all her lymph nodes.
She had a mastectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy as well as Herceptin infusions for a year and feels that research into cancer is what saved her life. This is why she is so passionate about supporting the Race for Life!
Sally said: “I feel so lucky to have survived breast cancer and this year is such a special year for me. I turn 50 in June, my wonderful son gets married in August and my daughter starts university, and my husband Colin is taking me on a Caribbean cruise with my best friend of 35 years Kim and her husband Steve.
