We all have a reason to RUN/WALK.
We all have connections to someone who is currently fighting or has fought a battle against cancer. Did you know that breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women (less than 1% of cancer diagnoses are in males), and every 14 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman is diagnosed with it?
Building on the previous year's popularity and success, Campus and Community in collaboration with the KAUST Community Club, Beach to Beacon, is bringing you the second edition of this exciting Run for a Cure to raise and support breast cancer awareness.
Every step you take helps raise awareness of and shows support for breast cancer. Don't just watch the change, be the change!
Registration closes on Thursday, October 24.
