Vision
Diagnostic Centre Tawau goes PINK in October in conjunction with
October Breast Cancer Awareness month. As one of the leading
diagnostic centres in Tawau Sabah, Vision supports the call for
creating awareness among the people of Tawau.
In collaboration with Kinabalu Pink Ribbon and Tawau General Hospital, Vision aims to introduce its services to the public in the process of fighting breast cancer by diagnosing and early detection. In order to materialize this, Vision collaborated with Kinabalu Pink Ribbon to encourage people around Tawau to join the awareness campaign known as the Tawau Pink Run (D’feeting Breast Cancer), organized by Kinabalu Pink Ribbon.
Vision as well offered a special mammogram package for participants interested in breast cancer screening. The package will be valid for the whole month of October until the 18 November 2013.
The event was held in Majlis Perbandaran Tawau (MPT), which started at around 4 pm with a short briefing and welcome speech by the President of Kinabalu Pink Ribbon, Madam Lucilla Pang.
More than 800 people showed up in pink and some were even dressed to kill. A warming up session was carried out by a group of Zumba fitness instructors where most of the participants joined in.
The run started at around 4.30 pm when they released the eager runners in pink to swarm the designated route.

The
event ended with lucky draws and main prizes give away. It was a
successful event where the participants had a great time and enjoyed
the activities while promoting awareness and early detection of
breast cancer among the society.
With this, Vision Tawau looks forward to more health awareness campaigns in the area to increase awareness and to educate the public on the importance of early detection and especially prevention.
