The money raised will go towards funding free breast screening road shows round Bali and outer islands with medical team and partner, Prima Medika Hospital and volunteer. Funds will also be allocated to continue having support groups meetings and free healthy living informal talk and demonstrations for breast cancer patients. BPR also provides friendly active support for breast cancer patients and their careers. The long term goal for fund raising is setting up a “rumah singgah” – free hostel for women awaiting treatment in the Denpasar hospitals.
Gaye Warren, British founder of Bali Pink Ribbon and a breast cancer survivor said, “Through unique collaboration with Bali based businesses, we create programs where women across the Bali and Indonesia participate in activities and raising money and awareness for a cause close to Bali community hearts—the fight against breast cancer. Cancer waits for no one, so we must continue to make progress for people affected by cancer, who have never needed us more.”
