ABOUT THE WALK FOR LIFE

CanSupport and members of the international community in Delhi created the Walk for Life nine months ago. The Unites States of America Ambassador Mr. Mulford and his wife, Mrs. Mulford, and the American Center in Delhi are actively supporting the Walk for Life. In addition, several companies have joined the cause as sponsors: Airtel, KPMG, Max Foundation and DLF. Many more companies, community groups, embassies, schools and colleges around Delhi are supporting the event. 5000 participants from all walks of life are expected on February 10th 2008 and the Prime Minister’s Wife, Mrs Gursharan Kaur will be flagging off the Walk.

Because cancer is a global challenge … Worldwide, approximately 11 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed every year and 7 million people die of cancer. In India, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 6.5 seconds and one in every 22 Indian women will be diagnosed with cancer. Most women are diagnosed at an incurable stage due to the lack of AWARNESS. Due to the growing presence of breast cancer amongst urban women, the walk will focus on Breast Cancer awareness this year.
