Local charity Keeping Abreast celebrated Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day (BRA Day) with a pink parade through the city centre yesterday evening.

The Norwich-based charity offers patient-led support for women considering or undergoing breast reconstruction after a breast cancer diagnosis or the discovery of a breast cancer gene.

And last night those from Keeping Abreast led a crowd of pink from Norwich Castle to City Hall waving flags and balloons.

Norwich City Council and the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery both supported the fantastic parade with City Hall and Norwich Castle boasting a bright pink hue for the evening.

International BRA Day is an initiative that promotes education, awareness, and acceess for women considering post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.
