Why Run For Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is the fastest growing cancer amongst women in India. There will be over 2 Lac new cases this year. Early detection through self-examination and mammography can prevent the advance of breast cancer and help patients survive. At Relief From Cancer, our goal is to educate Indian women about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer as well as to encourage regular self-examinations and mammograms because early detection saves lives! Join us in our fight to increase the survival rate of women suffering from breast cancer by running or walking to raise awareness and funds for needy patients.
