Opinion – É Logo Ali: Solidarity walking and cycling celebrate Pink October

This month is consecrated as the month of breast cancer prevention and diagnosis, Pink October, and for those who like to walk (or run, or cycle…) and at the same time know that they are being supportive, there is nothing like participating in this Sunday (9), of the 6th Pedalada and Walk Rosa do IqeB (Chemotherapy and Beauty Institute), in São Paulo. The proposal is to bring together women undergoing treatment, family members, caregivers, supporters and even their pets, for a healthy activity and, at the same time, enlightening the importance of care and self-knowledge.

For those who want to contribute by buying the test kit, registration is open until midnight this Saturday (8), with prices ranging from R$ 89.00 for the general public, to R$ 69.00 for cancer patients. and people over 60 years old. All funds raised will be allocated to the Institute and its projects, such as the Scarves Bank, which has donated more than 40,000 scarves to women with cancer throughout Brazil.

The activity will be carried out on Avenida Paulista, starting and ending at Praça Marechal Cordeiro de Farias and going to Praça Oswaldo Cruz, over a 5-kilometer route. The kits can be picked up this Saturday (8) from 12:00 to 18:00, at the Salomão Zoppi laboratory unit, belonging to the Dasa group, one of the sponsors of the competition, at Rua Correia Dias, 136, in Paraíso, or on Sunday itself, from 8:30 am to 9:00 am, at the race venue, which starts at 9:15 am.
