Pink October
In the heart of the scenic Lac de Chavants, our team took part in a marathon organized by Mairie de Houches as part of the Pink October campaign. This annual initiative unites communities nationwide to raise awareness about breast cancer screening and fund research. Pink October, a nationwide initiative held annually throughout France, brings together various events aimed at contributing to the crucial goal of breast cancer awareness and research. It is a time when communities unite to support those affected by breast cancer and emphasize the importance of early detection.
As our organisation was in a delegation in France, two of our enthusiastic members laced up their running shoes for the symbolic 10 km marathon. The picturesque route through the woods not only tested their physical limits but also provided a breathtaking backdrop, making the experience truly unforgettable.
As our team crossed the marathon finish line, we not only celebrated personal achievements but also strengthened our commitment to making a difference. Pink October serves as a powerful reminder that every step taken in the fight against breast cancer brings us closer to a future where early detection and effective treatments prevail. Our organization remains dedicated to participating in events that contribute to the well-being of our communities and support those facing health challenges.
