Simon West, chairman of the Louth Run for Life Team, hopes to make it an annual event in Louth:

"We proudly want to show our support in the fight against cancer and would like to invite businesses, organisations, and individuals to join us during October.

“We currently organise a range of events and thought this would be a great idea to visually increase awareness while also raising funds.”

The Turn Louth Pink campaign has been kindly sponsored by Brocklebank Reclaims, and there will be a number of other events running throughout the month

Numerous events are being organised during the Turn Louth Pink month, including a Pink Themed Quiz at the Brown Cow on Sunday October 15, and a Wear it Pink Walk on Saturday October 21.
