Aspire Zone, QCS organise Ladies Walk the Park

DOHA: Marking this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF), in collaboration with the Qatar Cancer Society (QCS), have recently held the ‘Ladies Walk the Park’ breast cancer awareness campaign, that aims to drive participants to embrace a healthier lifestyle and become familiar with both the causes of breast cancer and effective prevention methods.

The event was attended by a large number of female residents of all ages, in addition to leading female icons in Qatar, including Eljazi Mohammed Al Kuwari, Chairman of the Executive Office at the Gulf Disability Society, Suhaila Al Harb, Head of the Qatari Businesswomen Association, and to Seham Al Awami, Director of Special Projects at the International Centre for Sport Security and Save the Dream programme.

The event comprised an interactive breast cancer awareness seminar presented by the QCS, accompanied by a small Q&A to test the participants’ knowledge. 

‘Curves’ weight loss centre, the proud sponsor of this year’s campaign, awarded winners of the Q&A session with vouchers, and engaged participants in a 10 minute warm-up session to prepare them for the 1-2 kilometre walk, around Aspire Park, that followed.

This partnership with Curves, is part of Aspire Zone’s efforts to encourage women to become more active, given that exercise plays an important role in boosting the body’s immune system, and preventing from breast cancer. – Press release
