Benissa’s annual Pink March returns this October
The Pink March is one of many activities held by the Spanish Association Against Cancer during October to raise awareness of cancer and highlight the importance of prevention, support and research. The pink colour traditionally associated with the event is particularly linked to breast cancer awareness.
Raising awareness and supporting cancer research
The Spanish Association Against Cancer plays an important role in providing support and information to people affected by cancer and their families, while also promoting research and awareness.
A community event open to everyone of all ages and fitness levels
The march offers residents and visitors an opportunity to come together for a common cause. They provide a visible show of solidarity with people living with cancer, survivors and their loved ones. Participants are encouraged to join the event regardless of age or fitness level, making it suitable for families, groups of friends and individuals who want to show their support.
How to join the solidarity march
With no entry fee, the event also provides an opportunity for people to learn more about the work carried out by cancer support organisations and the importance of early detection and access to care. Those taking part can simply turn up at Plaça Rei Jaume I on the morning of the event, with the march scheduled to begin at noon.
The organisers are inviting local residents and visitors to put on their walking shoes and join the solidarity event on Sunday, October 18.
