Walk vs breast cancer

MANILA, Philippines - Avon invites everyone to support both the breast cancer cause and GMA celebrities by joining We Walk as One — Avon Walk Around the World for Breast Cancer 2009. You can help fight the No. 1 cancer killer of women and provide access to care, treatment and support for thousands of Filipina indigents.

GMA 7 celebrities and representatives from partner organizations have already pledged their support for the 2009 Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer (KGBC) campaign, giving their statements, sharing stories and taking up Avon’s call for the entire nation to participate in the fundraising walk events on Oct. 4, to be held simultaneously in seven key cities around the country.

Avon official partners are Philippine Cancer Society, GMA Network, Inc., Globe Telecom, AstraZeneca, The Peninsula Manila, SM Supermalls, Rotary Club International District 3810 and Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Celebrities, supporters, patients and survivors “walk as one” to help a record-breaking number of women win the fight against breast cancer.

There are two other ways to support the cause. Simply purchase the Limited Edition KGBC shirt for only P149. P20 from each shirt sold will go to the continued support of the PGH Breast Care Center. Or purchase the Avon Naturals Water Lily and Aloe Hand and Body Lotion for P109. P5 from each bottle of lotion sold is earmarked for the breast cancer fund.
