Annie Idibia, Madu Moc, Peace Emezue, Kiki Omeili, Debbie Collins, other celebrities, three (3) breast cancer survivors and one breast cancer patient walked 9.5km to create awareness on breast cancer.

After the walk, the following activities kicked off: Dance Against Cancer (DAC), Karate Against Cancer (KAC) and One Million Signatures against Breast Cancer.

Over 300 women and men received free breast and prostate cancer screenings.

“Breast cancer awareness is such an important cause, cancer can affect anyone and hence, we all have a role to play in increasing awareness, and encouraging women do breast self exam and screenings; as I do same. I will continue to support this cause” said Annie Idibia
Kiki Omeili, a Nollywood actress and a also a medical doctor, asserted “some cancers have a good chance of being treated if detected in time and the only way to do that is to be proactive, because some of them like cervical cancer have no symptoms at early stage. I urge everyone to get screened today”.

Runcie C.W. Chidebe, Executive Director of Project PINK BLUE emphasized that “it is not only early detection that saves lives, rather early detection and treatment save lives. I know of a lady who was detected of stage II, but could not raise funds on time to start her treatment; today she is battling with stage III. We are appealing to everyone out there, to please go for screenings”.
