Details:
For the second consecutive year, Think Pink Lux has teamed up with Think Pink Europe, a non-profit organisation that supports the fight against breast cancer, to host the Race for the Cure in Luxembourg on the last weekend of September; due to the ongoing health crisis, this year's race will take place virtually, from 25 to 27 September 2020.
Race for the Cure® is Europe's biggest sporting event for women's health. It helps breast cancer organisations and hospitals to collect funds and raise awareness. With 500,000 new diagnoses and 130,000 people who die of breast cancer every year in Europe, these funds are of vital importance. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, however, big sporting events have been postponed or cancelled - at a time when breast cancer patients and survivors are vulnerable and need support the most.
In this context, the public is invited to register their own 3k walk or 6k run in their neighbourhood, village or city, together with friends, family, colleagues and neighbours and connect to thousands of people all over Europe.
Registrations are now open for the Race for the Cure at https://www.raceforthecure.eu/en/. Participants are free to go wherever their feet take them, keeping in mind the COVID-19-related guidelines that apply in Luxembourg. Participants can even run indoors on a treadmill or in the gym, as long as they join in during the last weekend of September.
The money raised will be used to support women and their families living with cancer in Luxembourg, as well as to support cancer research at the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH).
