The Councillor for Health, Irene Celdrán, highlighted the city’s commitment to raising awareness about breast cancer through this event. “We want everyone to know that pink is more than just a colour; it symbolises support, solidarity, research, and companionship for those affected by breast cancer,” she said.
Join the Pink Tide
The mayor encouraged everyone to participate: “We can all contribute to this cause. Join the pink tide that will flow through the streets of Orihuela next Sunday, renewing our commitment to those who need our support and more research.”
