Thousands
In Support Of Prevention Of Breast
Cancer
Thousands were out on Sunday to support the
“Carrera y Caminata por la Vida”, the fight
against breast cancer in Costa Rica,
sponsored by Avon.
It is estimated that at least 7.000 people
were out on Paseo Colón beginning at 8am,
ending their walk at the Plaza de la
Democracia, where they were met by the group
"Son de Tikicia", in addition to a host of
other family activities.
Adriana Fernández, marketing manager for
Avon, said that the number of people showing
up in support broke all expectations.
All the money raised from Sunday's event
goes to the Fundación Nacional de
Solidaridad contra el cáncer de mama (Fundeso).
All this month there have been activities in
various locations around the country, the
major ones focused in San José with its
large population base.
Last Sunday, the supermarket chain
Automercado sponsored the "Rosa" walk in
Escazú and the Sunday before the Ross
Foundation sponsored the "Corre por mi" in
the Sabana park.
The focus of each activity is to detect
breast cancer early. |
