#THEBIGPINKFIGHT to Mark World Cancer Day

Once again, Run For a Cure Africa joined forces with Shoprite Nigeria to provide the women of our community with free breast cancer exams and scans. Through this initiative, over 3,100 women and some men in Lagos, Asaba, Onitsha, Abuja, Yobe, and Kano were able to receive clinical exams, wellness checks, ultrasound scans, and mammography for absolutely NO COST. #thebigpinkfight

#STILLHERESTILLRUNNING

Since 2009, Run For a Cure Africa has been fighting breast cancer in Nigeria. Operating a nonprofit in one of the most dynamic countries in the world has not been easy but it's been worth it. The last year has presented its own set of challenges but because of our partnerships and a great deal of faith and dedication we are #stillherestillrunning. Read about some of our key partners.
