Paul Davies, Assembly Member for Preseli Pembrokeshire has demonstrated his support for women with breast cancer by becoming an ambassador for leading charity Breast Cancer Now. Around 600 women are still dying from breast cancer each year in Wales. Breast Cancer Now will be working closely with Breast Cancer Ambassadors to help them take action to tackle breast cancer in their local areas and in the Welsh Assembly, and to ensure that Wales’ most common cancer remains high on the political agenda.
By bringing together the brightest, boldest and most influential policymakers, scientists, fundraisers and campaigners across the country, Breast Cancer Now believes that by 2050 everyone who develops breast cancer will live – but only if we all act now.
Mr Davies said: “I’m very proud to support Breast Cancer Now and their bold 2050 ambition and together we can put the spotlight back on this dreadful disease both locally and nationally. By becoming a Breast Cancer Ambassador, I will continue to work with Breast Cancer Now to ensure that action is taken on behalf of the women and families affected in Pembrokeshire.”
Baroness Delyth Morgan, Chief Executive at Breast Cancer Now, said: “We are so grateful to have the support of Paul Davies in the Welsh Assembly. Around 600 mothers, daughters and sisters in Wales are still losing their lives to breast cancer each year and we all need to work together to put a stop to this.
“If we all act now, we believe that by 2050 everyone who develops breast cancer will live. With the help of our Breast Cancer Ambassadors, we can ensure that those affected by breast cancer in Wales are not forgotten.”
Breast Cancer Now – the new charity created from the merger of Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer – launched in June 2015, aiming to unite everybody affected by the disease to ensure that we are the generation that finally stops women dying from it.”
