Pink Ribbon mania is descending once again on Bali, as momentum builds towards the fourth annual Pink Ribbon Walk to be held at Nusa Dua on Saturday, May 26, 2012.
As with the previous three walks, more than 500 walkers from around the world are expected to converge on Nusa Dua starting at 3:00 pm when the gates open, prior to the formal start of the walk at 4:30 pm. Participants may choose to run or walk along a five-kilometer route through the beautiful gardens and along the beach paths of the Nusa Dua Peninsula. The Walk will finish with a program of live music, craft bazaar, raffle, auction and refreshments from international food stalls sponsored by the leading hotels in Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa.
A march against the scourge of cancer, an inspired group of women in Bali, some of whom had been affected by breast, established the first
Bali Pink Ribbon Walk in 2009.
In 2012 a
Bali Pink Ribbon Foundation was established and a
Breast Cancer Support Center has been opened in Bali’s capital of Denpasar.
Funds generated from the 2012 Walk will be used to finance the center, purchase equipment, provide monthly Breast Cancer Awareness seminars and free mammogram vouchers to women living in Bali.
By purchasing a ticket, making a donation or merely joining the fun at Nusa Dua on Saturday, May 26th you are helping to empower individuals and communities to increase breast cancer awareness in Indonesia.
Cost of Participation:
Adults: Rp. 150,000 (US$17) (includes a pink T-shirt)
