Joining Forces to Fight Breast Cancer: Barking Mad’s Charity Initiative
This October, Barking Mad is proud to partner with its sister brands, Ovenclean and ChipsAway, to support Breast Cancer Now, the UK’s largest breast cancer charity. Together, they aim to raise funds and awareness for life-changing research and provide support to those affected by breast cancer.
Across the country, colleagues and franchisees are taking part in the “100 Miles in October” challenge, walking, running, or hiking to reach the milestone together. They will also participate in “Wear It Pink” day on 24th October, joining thousands nationwide in wearing pink outfits and accessories to raise vital funds.
A Personal Connection to the Cause
This campaign holds special significance for the team, as they come together to support Amy, a beloved member of their Franchise Support Team who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Amy’s positivity and strength continue to inspire her colleagues, and many across the Barking Mad, Ovenclean, and ChipsAway networks are getting involved to show their support.
Franchise Support Team Leader, Annabel Hall, explains: “Breast cancer is a disease that sadly touches so many lives, including our own team. By coming together as ChipsAway, Ovenclean, and Barking Mad, we want to show our support for Amy and raise money for vital research and support services. It’s also wonderful to see so many of our franchisees across the networks stepping up to take part – a real testament to the community spirit Amy herself has worked so hard to build.”
Making a Difference Together
Every year, around 55,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK. The funds raised across the Franchise Brands networks will help Breast Cancer Now continue its groundbreaking research and provide vital support for people living with breast cancer today. By supporting this challenge, individuals can contribute to making a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer.
