‘Breast cancer survivors to ‘walk with pride’ on July 31

KUALA LUMPUR: Being a breast cancer survivor herself, Datin Paduka Seri Endon Mahmood knows that it is possible to fight the disease.
This is why the chairman of Yayasan Budi Penyayang Malaysia (Penyayang) will lend her support to a charity fashion show co-organised by Pink Ribbon Deeds (PRIDE), Penyayang and University of Bristol Alumni Association.
Called Walk with Pride, the event will be launched by Endon on July 31 and will see breast cancer survivors parade in fashionable outfits by local and international designers.
Endon, who is the wife of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, said she had attended a similar event in London last October held by Breast Cancer Care and she was moved by the event.
“Being a survivor myself, I found the fashion show to be uplifting and personally moving.
