Star of hit West End musical Oliver! Jodie Prenger (Nancy) and three other female cast members took time out from rehearsals today at The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane to exercise their green fingers and dig in with their pink spades to help Breast Cancer Campaign. They planted a range of pink and white bulbs in the Rose Garden of London’s Hyde Park to raise awareness for the charity. The bulbs come courtesy of P de Jager & Sons, which has pledged its support to Breast Cancer Campaign for a year. As a result there’ll be a host of pink and white flowers to admire in the Rose Garden next Spring.
Actress Jody Prenger, who plays Nancy in Oliver! said, “By planting the pink bulbs we want to encourage gardeners across the UK to buy P. de Jager’s Pink Bulb Range, identified by the pink ribbon on the packaging, and to help raise much needed funds to support Campaign’s invaluable research.”
Breast Cancer Campaign, who aim to be the leading specialists in breast cancer research throughout the UK, have teamed up with premier flower bulb suppliers, P. de Jager & Sons, this year, to raise substantial funds from the sale of a specially branded Pink Bulb Range. When de Jager customers order from the Pink Bulb Range identified by the breast cancer pink ribbon in the catalogue and on its website www.dejager.co.uk, 10% of the sale of those bulbs will go to the charity. Additionally a specially designed Pink Bulb Box containing pink flowering bulbs retailing at £30 (inc. VAT) will contribute £2.60 from every box sold to the charity. Look out for the new de Jager Spring 2010 catalogue, which is due out any day now!
Breast Cancer Campaign aims to find the cure for breast cancer by funding innovative world-class research into the disease. Each year 45,500 women and 300 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK and Campaign’s research aims to make significant impact on the lives of patients by improving diagnosis and treatment.
