The Walk for Life in Honduras on Saturday Raised Breast Cancer Awareness

Walk for Life – Breast Cancer Awareness

The pink Walk for Life 5k began at 7:00 am in Central Park, and ended at Los Próceres Boulevard, with a finish line and a live musical concert.  A demonstration of the four steps to practice a breast self-examination was performed in an effort to help women with early detection, an important step in combatting the disease.

Lorena Alfaro, a committee director that helps the League Against Cancer, said that it was a great pleasure that citizens supported the pink walk, and that the turnout provided great satisfaction for the League Against Cancer. The group encourages mammograms and regular doctor visits in addition to self examination.

The Color Run in Honduras for the Mario Rivas Pediatrics Unit was a successful event.
