Join Cancer Focus NI on Sunday 29th October at Victoria Park, Belfast, 12 noon and turn yourself PINK for local breast cancer research.
The Pink Run will be a 5k course around the park which is an achievable distance for all ages and abilities. We are looking for runners, joggers and walkers to take part and get covered head to toe in pink powder!
It is not a competitive race, we want you to come and have fun on this comfortable route and we will keep you entertained on the way around the course with a live DJ and a warm-up at 12 noon to get you started.Anyone can take part in this run, so grab your friends, family or work colleagues and get pinkified for Cancer Focus NI! Registration is £15 per person.
All money raised will go towards research being carried out into the BRCA mutant gene at Queen’s University Belfast by Dr Kienan Savage and his team. Progress is being made in understanding BRCA and tests are being conducted to find new and better ways of detecting, treating and preventing cancer in people who carry mutations in BRCA.
Each donation brings us closer to the breakthrough which could mean that many women will no longer have to choose drastic surgery to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer.
