She iterated that the event is a showcase of support and an opportunity to spread awareness on breast cancer and the necessity for early detection. “Together, we can win the battle, and that is the message you will spread as you walk,” she highlighted, while releasing pink balloons into the air.

Dr Vijayabharathi said that prevention is the best cure for breast cancer, and women in the age group of 40-50, especially if they have a family history of cancer, should undergo a mammogram, which will go a long way in handling the tumour. Rotarian N.S.Saravanan, Governor-Elect, RI Dist 3232, informed that in the last year, Rotary has installed eight mammogram machines in various hospitals. 

Over 2,000 people participated in the event, which included survivors and their support system – men who care for the women in their lives, mothers, wives, sisters, aunts, and friends. Many school and college students and the general public also participated.

Rotarian Ravi Raman, Governor of RI Dist 3232, Rotarian Vinod Sarogi, Governor of RI Dist 3232 and Rotarian Shobana Ravi, District First Lady, spoke about the need to create awareness of breast cancer and extended their support to all cancer-affected people.
