As we close on what has been the best week of 2021 so far I just wanted to round off by writing this piece and giving a huge thank you!
For those of you who don’t know what pink week is here is your quick run down…
Our very own Uni Boob Team (as well as many others round the country) gathered together and hosted our pink week. The idea is to wear at least once during the week – and if you can EVERYDAY!
The meaning behind this week is to grab your attention… to remind people that breast cancer still exists; that we are still fighting and that it can impact anyone! Many charities run their own pink day- which was Friday 22nd this year – but a pink week is a little easier at uni as it allows more time for everyone to get involved! – including some of our own writers.
The idea is for societies and sports teams to take over a social or meeting to get everyone’s attention and to open conversations people may not normally have. At Edge Hill we had a few societies and their members really get involved so special mention goes out to Edge Hill Cheer and Sideline Cheer, as well Christian Union and BSL!
At Edge Hill, it was not just societies to get involved some of our staff got involved too.. so shout out to The Arts Centre and the SU staff for showing off their pink too!!!
And obviously a big thanks to our UBT for bringing this important cause to our attention – and for showing us how to do pink week properly!!
They even had nature on their side… with the beautiful pink clouds!
Although Pink Week may be over we should not forget the important message behind what is such a fun week… Breast Cancer is still killing and we need to continue to fight against it.
Remember to check yourself and keep the conversation going!
