Over 800 join charitable marathon in Surkhandarya region
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Over 800 people joined a charitable marathon dubbed “In the Name of Life” in Termez, organized by the Fund Forum, “In the Name of Life” National Breast Cancer Asociation and the Women`s Council. The project was supported by the Surkhandarya branch of the Women`s Council and over 500 women.

Over 300 women were examined by a breast care professional as part of the marathon. Moreover, the participants purchased pink ribbon items, thereby supporting the idea and charitable cause of helping women with cancer. The runners were joined by Uzbek pop stars. The winners were saluted with presents and prizes.

Mohira Asadova, entrepreneur, (Termez, Surkhandarya region):

“Sometimes I forget to take care of my health. And today thanks to this marathon I was able to go through a medical checkup by a breast care doctor. Women who dedicate themselves to care of their children and family sometimes fail to take proper care of themselves. A big thank you to the Women`s Council for taking care of our health. I would like this sort of marathons to be organized at least two or three times a year. I wish the organizers of this project good luck!”
