Breast Cancer Awareness Month is causing a stir in Oxfordshire this year.

Abingdon-based charity Against Breast Cancer is challenging supporters to dive or drive, or both during October to raise more than £10,000 for their research work into the disease.

For the really daring, the Big Pink Plunge is a skydive that’s taking place at Brackley Airfield in Northampton on October 23 2011.

The charity is calling all thrill seekers to jump from a plane in the name of fundraising and fun.

For more ‘grounded’ supporters there’s an opportunity to join Against Breast Cancer for a round of golf, hosted by Kirtlington Golf Club, near Bicester on Tuesday, October 11.

The day closes with a three-course dinner, raffle and live auction. Join Against Breast Cancer and help create a stir this October. To sign up or find out more please go to againstbreastcancer.org.uk GILL KEMP Against Breast Cancer Abingdon
