The city of Coimbra is preparing to host the first Pink October Run, an initiative that combines sport and awareness for breast cancer prevention. The event aims to alert the population to the importance of early detection of the disease.
Débora Monteiro is one of the participants who decided to join the race for a cause she knows well. The athlete states that screening changed her family's life, emphasizing the impact that timely diagnosis can have on treatment outcomes.
The race organization aims to bring the local community together around a double objective: to promote an active lifestyle and raise awareness about the need for regular breast cancer screening exams, particularly during the month of October.
