Parkhurst Bra Run for breast cancer

The Bra Run for breast cancer awareness which took place in Parkhurst last Friday, 22 October was a great success.

The BHF decided to organise the 'bra-run' in a bid to find a novel, fun way of heightening breast cancer awareness and education in a month packed with activities.

Says Louise Turner, spokesperson for the BHF: "Breast cancer statistics in South Africa are frightening. Many women have the erroneous perception that breast cancer is a death sentence. The BHF is trying to educate women about the importance of breast self-examination and the fact that early detection saves lives. We thought the bra-run would be an opportunity to show the public that we are not only survivors, but are living life to the full."
