Nathalie Rees, aged 50, is urging everyone to show solidarity with other people diagnosed with cancer. The Unity Band is available in three different colours – pink, navy and blue. It can be worn in memory of a loved one, to celebrate people who’ve overcome cancer or in support of those going through treatment. Every year, around 41,000 people are diagnosed with the disease in the North West. By donating or getting a Unity Band, people across the region will be raising money to help get life-saving research back on track after the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Cancer Research UK expects to see its fundraising income decline by a staggering £300 million over the next three years, which could put future breakthroughs at risk for people like Nathalie.
