SOUTH Perth’s Old Mill is joining the landmarks and buildings across Perth turning pink during October to support awareness for the need to continue research into breast cancer.
The landmark will turn pink until Friday and coincides with a breakfast held yesterday to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Perth Global Illumination Committee chairwoman Jenny Rogers said the research funds would help the foundation move towards its goal of zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030.
