Against Breast Cancer gets Cowell's support

X Factor judge and music mogul Simon Cowell has pledged his support for charity Against Breast Cancer's 1 in 9 campaign.

He is encouraging friends, family and colleagues of breast cancer sufferers to support the initiative during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The charity is responsible for the National Diet and Lifestyle study, which aims to increase survival rates of the disease by investigating the relationship between nutrition, diet and lifestyle factors. Its ultimate goal is to discover a breast cancer vaccine.

The 1 in 9 campaign, so called because one in nine women in the UK will be diagnosed with the condition, urges people to purchase charity greeting cards in order to raise money to fight the cancer.

Commenting on the initiative, Cowell said: "I really admire Against Breast Cancer's work … Their five-year diet and lifestyle study will lead to helpful advice that will increase survival after breast cancer."
