There are a number of great cash prizes for £1000, £500, £250 as well as other top prizes including a portable TV, DVD player and a Landrider Mountain Bike.
Deborah McWhirter, Direct Marketing Manager, UCF said, ?October is a very important time of year for us, both in raising awareness of breast cancer and funds to continue our work, which relies almost entirely on voluntary donations and the support of local people.
?The UCF understands the very personal and individual nature of how a diagnosis of breast cancer and dealt with and is there to support and reassure women during what is often a very difficult and worrisome time. We offer a wide variety of information and support for women throughout Northern Ireland including ? Breast Cancer Support Groups Meetings, Specialist Bra and Swimwear fitting service for mastectomy patients, freephone cancer helpline, professional counselling, beauty therapy, art therapy classes, awareness campaigns, and cancer research funding. All money raised during this campaign will enable us to continue our work here in Northern Ireland.?
UCF have teamed up with the Travel and Leisure Club to offer a great incentive and thank-you gift for helping people living with cancer in Northern Ireland.
