SCHOOL children and business employees are being asked to paint their little finger pink on February 13 as part of a fundraiser for the Stars Appeal Breast Cancer Unit Campaign.

Emma Fortescue is hoping as many people as possible will join in the Paint a Pinky day, donating £1 to the appeal. The mum-of-three from Gussage St Michael, who had breast cancer two years ago, said: “The idea came from a friend of mine, Pippa Whitehouse, while we were at the Rockbourne Fair. It would be great to get schools and of course any business or organisation to join in.”
