October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), and UK high-street retailer M&S has launched a campaign, ‘[Spark Something Good](http://www.marksandspencer.com/s/lingerie/breast-cancer-now),’ by teaming up with seven women, all of whom have been affected by breast cancer, to help get customers active to prevent the disease. During this month, the store will be donating 10 per cent of all women’s fitness clothing and sports bra sales to the charity, [Breast Cancer Now](http://breastcancernow.org/). BBC TV’s, “Strictly Come Dancing” Star Karen Hardy will host ‘Move it in the Park’ to kick start the campaign. The retailer is also encouraging the public to take on a 7 Day Challenge and pledge to be active for 30 minutes a day.

Experts at Breast Cancer Now say women who are active for 30 minutes a day can cut their risk of developing breast cancer by at least 20 per cent. The seven ladies will help motivate M&S customers by sharing video diaries on how to embrace daily activity, while telling their own unique and empowering stories on social media using #letsgetmoving.
