Women, men and children showed out in droves in Nerja to express solidarity with breast cancer sufferers.
SOLIDARITY was on show in Nerja as more than 500 locals gathered to mark International Day Against Breast Cancer on Saturday October 23. The group walked the streets of Nerja to show solidarity with breast cancer sufferers and demand more resources and research into the disease. Representatives from Nerja Council, including the mayor, José Alberto Armijo, and councillor for Social Services, Daniel Rivas participated in the walk to support the cause. This year’s slogan for the walk was ‘Pink is more than a colour’, raising awareness about the particularly aggressive Metastatic Breast Cancer. Armijo thanked volunteers from the Spanish Asso‐ ciation Against Cancer, who organised the walk. “We thank them for their efforts to raise awareness about this awful disease, reducing the impact it has and improving the quality of life for sufferers and their families.” Armijo also highlighted the importance of research into cancer to prevent and diagnose more breast cancer cases as soon as possible. Walkers proudly wore breast cancer t‐shirts and met at the Balcón de Europa before taking to the streets of Nerja for the solidarity demonstration.
