Valiant Clinic by Meraas, the premium multi-specialty clinic in the UAE and the region, partnered with Al Jalila Foundation, and Brest Friends, to host a series of family friendly activities in City Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness in October and November. The free to attend events are taking place every Thursday and Friday evenings from the 18th October to 9th November, at the Multaqa Al Adwa, City Walk. Families can participate in an array of free activities that raise awareness of breast cancer, activities that support breast cancer survivors, donate to charity and more
The series of family-friendly activities include the Wall of Hope where people can leave written messages in support to people fighting breast cancer; a positivity boost to those currently suffering; and a Photo Booth giving families an opportunity to take fun costume photos as a memory of the day. There is also a booth for arts and crafts to keep the kids busy while parents can get information regarding breast cancer and answers to any questions they might have about detection and more. The events also provide people the opportunity to donate to breast cancer related research through participating in any of the activities
“Breast cancer is the most treatable form of cancer amongst women if detected early. It is our pleasure partnering with Al Jalila Foundation and Brest Friends on this cause during October and November, and putting together a new and engaging way to raise awareness of the disease whilst engaging families and supporting breast cancer survivors. We would like to thank in advance all who will join us for the fundraiser and encourage women everywhere to be aware of the dangers of breast cancer and be actively involved in taking charge of their health.” Commented Dr. Marc Ruemmler, General Manager of Valiant Clinic
Sulaiman Baharoun, Director of Partnerships and Sustainability at Al Jalila Foundation commented: “Every year thousands of people across the UAE come together during #PINKtober to lend their efforts, voices and hearts to a cause that continues to cut so many lives short. Al Jalila Foundation is delighted to once again be the charity partner of Valiant Clinic’s breast cancer awareness activation which continues to raise awareness and funds to support breast cancer patients through our Brest Friends partnership. We are delighted by the enthusiasm we receive from partners like Valiant Clinic to amplify our message and rally the community to join our mission to make a difference to the lives of people affected by breast cancer”
