Players push for pink in sea of blue

The campaign encourages teams to wear pink socks ensuring every breast cancer sufferer in Australia has access to a breast care nurse, as well as increasing breast awareness in young Australians.

The Western Australian team is encouraging its supporters to join in the campaign by purchasing the pink socks from the Western Force Team Store for the match, with all proceeds going to the McGrath Foundation.

Western Force captain Matt Hodgson said his team was keen to support the worthwhile cause. Local teams can also get on board by registering to host their own Pull On Your Socks game at www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au.
