Springs of Joy International is set to hold an awareness walk Saturday, as part of its social aid efforts to help prevent, treat and eradicate breast cancer.

The walk, which is in its second year, will start from the La Bawaleshie School Park, through some major streets in East Legon and back to the park on October 17.

The walk, which is under the theme: “Let’s fight breast cancer together”, will be led by the General Overseer of Springs of Joy International, Dr.  Prophet Akwasi Agyemang Prempeh.

Other personalities who will be taking part in the walk include the Deputy General Overseer of Springs of Joy International, Mrs. Rosemond Prempeh and Mr Emmanuel Kyermanteng Agyarko Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wagon.

The walk is expected to attract over 200 people from the East Legon community and beyond.

Organisers say they hope to raise a mutual fund of GHc20,000 to support patients undergoing treatment of the disease.

There will be free breast screening for participants of the walk.

In a bid to reduce stigmatisation, there will also be education on breast cancer symptoms and treatment.
