Today, marked the celebration of Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer walk all over the Philippines.

My daughter and I joined a sea of people in pink for the celebration of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This celebration was presented by Avon, in partnership with the Philippines Cancer Society, is an event that aims to raise awareness about breast cancer. It also aimed to gather 30,000 participants in 16 places all over the Philippines walking towards a healthier tomorrow.

Part of the purchase of the PhP149 pink KGBC shirt serves as a donation to the cause. A limited edition KGBC Skin So Soft ultra-healing lotion also has part of it’s price that will go to the Philippines General Hospital’s Breast Care Center which houses the Philippine Cancer Society’s library.

This event was made possible by other sponsors like GMA Network, Globe, Reebok, Astra Zeneca, SM Mall of Asia and the Rotary International District 3780.

I still have to see the numbers if the targeted number of participants has been achieved.
