October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and local businesses, schools and clubs are pinking up with communities all over Australia to take part in the McGarth Foundations' "Pink Up Your Town" campaign.

Tania Dwyer from Seeto, Dodd and Dwyer Amcal Pharmacy is heading the campaign and aims to raise $10,000 in support of McGrath Breast Care Nurses.

"Not only does this campaign support the Breast Care Nurse in Bega it also brings the community together to have some fun," Ms Dwyer said.
