Hundreds of Marathon residents, breast cancer fighters, survivors and their supporters turned out for a special Breast Cancer Awareness Fun Run Walk, flooding the streets of Marathon in a sea of pink.
Marathon Member of Parliament Lisa T Rahming hosted the Fun Run Walk on Saturday, October 27, 2024 beginning at 7am at the Lou Adderley Park on Claridge Road.
Participants received a complimentary pink T-Shirt and walked through the constituency in a show of solidarity. Noting that breast cancer is prevalent in the country and the presence of the BRCA-1 gene is distinctive, MP Rahming stressed the importance of regular health checks and healthy lifestyles to combat breast cancer.
After the fun run walk, participants gathered at the park to hear a health talk from professionals, and to receive health screenings, courtesy of MP Rahming and Bonaventure labs.
Rahming was particularly excited for the large turnout of young people who walked in support of breast cancer awareness. Winners and runners up received trophies for participation, presented by Rahming and her Marathon constituency team, which also distributed hot breakfast and drinks to all attendees.
