Massive sea of pink for ‘Walk for the Cure 2017’

Thousands turned out, wearing pink, for the annual breast cancer awareness walk yesterday, demonstrating that Barbadians are definitely becoming more aware of the significant impact the illness has not only on those suffering from it, but also their loved ones and friends.

The CIBC FirstCaribbean and the Barbados Cancer Society Breast Screening Programme’s Walk for the Cure 2017 was a success as women, men, teenagers and babies in strollers, came out in their numbers to participate.

The 5K Walkers, who created a sea of pink, started at 4 p.m. from opposite CIBC FirstCaribbean Head office to Hinds Hill stop lights, headed to Queen’s College, turned right by the stop lights at Queen’s College, continued to the junction by Simpson Motors, turned right and headed to the Massy Car Park for after-walk activities.

There was also a 10K and 5K run.
