Join Us to Raise Awareness and Save Lives

This year, 1.1 million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer across the globe. When breast cancer is detected early, the chances of survival increase dramatically.

The Egypt Race for the Cure© on Saturday, October 24 at the Giza Pyramids is a healing opportunity for all to celebrate, remember, and make a difference in the fight against cancer. By participating in this event, you will be helping to raise awareness about a health issue that affects thousands of deserving women in Egypt -- whether it is women who undergo screening for early detection, through free mammograms and breast health awareness; or women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, through support and care.
