The Trudy Arnold Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to women’s health, empowerment, and preventive care, successfully held its Health Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness in Accra over the weekend. The event formed part of the Foundation’s Pink October campaign to promote early detection, education, and support for women affected by breast cancer.

The 7-kilometre walk commenced from the Studio 7 Clinic premises in Dzorwulu, proceeding through Roman Ridge and the Airport environs, before returning to the clinic, where a series of health-focused activities took place.

Held in partnership with the Ghana Health Service, the Breast Society of Ghana, and Judy’s Healthcare Agency, the event attracted an impressive turnout of participants from all walks of life, including health professionals, community members, and public figures.

Among the dignitaries in attendance was Honourable John Dumelo, Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon and Deputy Minister of Agriculture, who commended the initiative for its impact and community engagement.

“Events like this remind us that early detection saves lives,” Hon. Dumelo stated. “We must continue to encourage regular screenings and awareness throughout the year, not only during October.”

Following the walk, participants received free breast cancer screenings and educational materials from health professionals stationed at the Studio 7 Clinic. The event atmosphere was vibrant, filled with music, wellness activities, and survivor testimonials that reinforced the message of hope and resilience.

The True Care Experience Luncheon – Celebrating Strength and Survival

As part of its ongoing Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities, the Trudy Arnold Foundation will host the True Care Experience Luncheon on October 24, 2025. The luncheon will celebrate breast cancer survivors, highlight their journeys of courage, and raise funds to sustain the Foundation’s outreach and free screening programmes.

The event will bring together women from diverse backgrounds, healthcare professionals, and advocates for an afternoon of empowerment, shared stories, and heartfelt connection.

Founder Trudy Arnold, who is also the CEO of Studio 7 Clinic and Med Spa, expressed gratitude for the turnout and emphasised the Foundation’s mission: “True care goes beyond aesthetics — it’s about creating a culture of compassion, wellness, and support. Through this Foundation, we’re building a network that reminds every woman that she matters, her health matters, and her story matters.”

The Trudy Arnold Foundation continues to champion women’s health and preventive screening initiatives across Ghana.
