Look out for the teams of wonderful volunteers who'll be joining Asda community champions to collect money for Tickled Pink in our stores this weekend.
Helen-Louise Sestan-Burton from our Bromborough store, pictured above with volunteer Ann, who's had breast cancer herself, is a passionate advocate of Tickled Pink, which is in its 27th year and raises money and awareness for our charity partners Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!.
She said: "It's so important to get the message out there for people to check their breasts and pecs; know your own body, know what's normal for you.
"I find the conversation with customers is more open these days because we are talking about it. We've removing the stigma and everyone knows somebody who's had breast cancer. Our customers are amazing and you can always relay on their generosity and support."
More than 400 bucket collectors will be in stores on October 7 and 8 to raise vital funds for world-class research, life-changing support services and to educate our customers, colleagues and suppliers to be more breast aware.
Thank you to them and to all our customers and colleagues for their generous support.
Here's what some of our store's have been doing across the UK for Tickled Pink during Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
