RUN FOR LIFE

Marathon Race and Breast Screening Exercise to Help Create Breast Cancer Awareness

As part of Save Life Organization’s (SLO) ongoing efforts to help curb social menaces in our societies, we are organizing a free breast screening and a marathon race called “Run for Life” to help create breast cancer awareness among women and the general public.

In view of our active participation in numerous cancer programs, we deem it necessary to help educate, screen and create awareness among the general public about the havocs of breast cancer and what they can do as individual to help curb this menace. It is in this context that SLO is organizing a marathon race and a breast screening program to help create breast cancer awareness, we are therefore inviting the general public and the media to come and participate and support such a worthy course. T-shirts will be distributed to the various participants at the start point.

o Start point: Karlskrona Centrum through Ronneby

o Finish Point: Karlshamn Centrum

o Time: 9.00am prompt

o Coverage Distance: 42.3kilometers race

It will be a memorable experience of a life time, as massive crowd of people of all ages running through the center of the streets aiming at one goal wearing the same T-shirt with bold inscriptions BEWARE OF BREAST CANCER on the front and RUN FOR LIFE on the back will certainly be spectacular and help create the awareness needed.

The first participant to cross the golden line of the race (winner) will be awarded the golden breast cup, followed by the second runner up a silver medal and the third runner up a bronze medal. There will be student volunteers at various points on the road to offer water and other refreshments to participants.

Do you know that breast cancer is the principle cause of death from cancer among women worldwide? In the year 2010 alone, 1.5 million people worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer according to WWBC.

However the world health organization (WHO) records shows that, two components have helped to improve cancer mortality, these are screening programs and education. If breast cancers are detected early and treated this could mean that about 400,000 lives could be saved in a worldwide context. 89% of the western world early detection of breast cancers followed by treatments, are alive five years after detection, this is to say that, early detection gives hope and saves lives so let’s beware of breast cancer.

SLO is a nonprofit making organization with a purpose of helping to deal with social menaces in our societies; the organization has been in existence for the past three years and has been actively involved in various cancer awareness programs worldwide.
