THE fight against the disease affecting the lives of Cebuano women and their families continues in the tenth run of Moonwalk: A Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness on Oct. 19.
Last year, 3,000 people joined the walk held under the full moon of October in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Incorporated’s Eduardo J. Aboitiz Cancer Center once again called on the public to join the walk from Fuente Osmeña Circle to Plaza Independecia. Participants are requested to come in pink outfits.
The walk will culminate with live performances by Cebuano bands.
The event aims to raise awareness about early screening and detection of breast cancer through monthly breast self-examination and mammography, especially for women aged 20 and above.
It is in partnership with the Cebu City government and Task Force Cancer of Cebu City and is supported by Cebu Cancer Fight Inc., I Can Serve Foundation, She Matters, and Can with God.
Interested participants may contact Gina Mariquit at 256-3287 or 254-6351 or through website www.rafi.org.ph.
