cancer charity pins

lady_esmerelda, 19 April, 2008 at 13:37 Posted on Planning 0 10

Hi,

We're looking at having cancer charity pins as our favours. We want breast cancer pins for the women, but dont know what to give the men. Does anyone know of any other charities with awareness pins, and if so, where we can get them?

Thanks ?

? lady_e ?

p.s. do you think guys would mind getting breast cancer pins, or are we better off going with a different charity? sorry for being a pain...

    This is a very relevant male cancer charity

    Pancreas cancer is far less well known than many other cancers, but is a huge killer as the signs don't show until its to late, so its a very worthy cause, the pins are a dark purple I think?

    I think its a lovely idea?

    We are doing this at our wedding. If you contact cancer research they give you the info. U make a donation and tell them how many pin badges you want, also how many men/women there will be at your wedding. They send diff badges for each. They also send little cards for each (bit like a place cared) which say your name and the fact that you have made a donation on there behalf to cancer research. Look on their website, it says it there!!

    They are the ones we had and bless our guests, nearly all of them put them on. It wasn't expected but it did bring a tear to my eye as the toastmaster did a speech about why they were there and i noticed loads of people putting them on during it. ?

    Does it have to be pins for the men? Asda sell Everyman keyrings (I bought one for h2b) that are £1 each and are really quite stylish!

    Hi we've bought the everyman cancer keyrings for our male guests, the ladies are getting breast cancer pins. Both charities are special to the family on both sides as we're both lose family memebers to cancer and MIL2B is a breast cancer surviour.

    Here are the keyrings we bought

    The cross bit pulls out which is used for a trolley fob!

    We're going to place them in a small organza bag or wrap them in cellophane(sp??).

    Luv Victoria

    We're doing the spacehopper pin badges from Macmillan for the male guests at the wedding, and Breast Cancer ones for the female guests.

    Macmillan gave H2B's mum and family lots of support when his dad was terminally ill with cancer so it was the perfect choice.

    While searching for information about the treatment of pancreatic cancer in german in the united kingdom, I came across this website, where I was able to find out all the information I needed. This site and its blog has a lot of information about how pancreatic cancer is treated. And so I think it can be very useful.

    My friends and I wanted to have some online fun during a meetup. I was after a site with a fun theme and good features. I found https://hamster-run-game.co.uk/ , and it’s got a cool setup with animated hamsters. From the UK, it has great bonuses like welcome offers, free spins, and a Tap, Hold & Win feature for big wins. The site’s playful vibe and smooth gameplay made our hangout super fun.
