Fight for the women in your life, join the Avon Walk & Run AgainstBreast Cancer

ACTION & EVENT-TURE NEWS FEED:

Breast cancer may not be largely a man's concern (although there are cases where the disease affect men too) but the women in our lives are at risk.  That's why we should share the fight against breast cancer, considered as the no. 1 killer disease among Filipinas, as there will always be a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a colleague and more that may face or are already facing the challenge of breast cancer.

Avon has always been in the forefront in the crusade against breast cancer through its Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer (KGBC) campaign. Now on its 13th year in the Philippines, the “company for women” is inviting everyone to show to the world that its bigger than the disease through this year’s theme “I Share the Fight Against Breast Cancer.”


Calling everyone regardless of gender, age and background to step up and step out for a purpose. This October 10, 2015, go the distance to share the fight against breast cancer at the SM Mall of Asia Grounds.

KGBC's ambassadors for this year, Jennylyn Mercado and Rocco Nacino, will join in making each stride our contribution in winning the fight for those affected by breast cancer.
