Abacus Careerwear : 20th anniversary

Our 20th anniversary

Abacus Careerwear was founded in 1985, and so we will celebrate our 20th Anniversary in 2005. There will be various activities throughout 2005 to mark this occasion, including:

23-25th September 2005

Abacus Careerwear is delighted to have kitted out a team of 5 London based Student Nurses taking part in the Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer is a truly unique event. During one amazing weekend, 23-25 September 2005, thousands of women and men will unite in London to walk 60 kilometres (that's 37 miles!) in a bold display of courage and commitment.

Putting their best feet forward: the Student Nurses on Tour

All proceeds from The Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer will help fund the critical work of Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the leading charity committed to fighting the disease through research and education.

Having established the UK 's first dedicated breast cancer research centre, Breakthrough's scientific work ultimately aims to eradicate breast cancer by discovering its causes, finding methods of prevention, and developing new treatments.

The Student Nurses on Tour are in their third year and have had placements within cancer areas. They feel that it is time for people to start taking this area of health seriously and start raising money for all those in need.

Abacus Careerwear has supported the team by providing their team 'uniform' - pink polo shirts embroidered with the breakthrough weekend logo and their team name on the back. The girls will be sporting the polo shirts not only during the weekend in September, but also for their charity fundraising nights in the run up to this event.

In order to walk in The Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, each participant must raise at least £1,500 for the cause. You can find out more about the team on their web page.

If you feel you can make a donation please visit www.breakthroughweekend.org and make a donation to the team leader - Helen Woodhouse, ID number 51346-7.

Very best of luck to the girls and to all those taking part in this amazing challenge.
