This year’s Pink Caravan Ride (PCR), which was scheduled to hit UAE roads this month, was postponed to the fourth quarter of 2021, it was announced on Thursday.
The team behind PCR — a pan-UAE breast cancer awareness drive organised by Friends Of Cancer Patients (FOCP) — said the move falls in line with the UAE’s precautionary measures to keep residents safe amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The PCR urged the community to continue carrying out self-examinations, which could help detect the disease early and increase survival rates by up to 98 per cent.
The Higher Steering Committee of PCR has reiterated their commitment to continue to advance efforts in raising awareness of the importance of regular screening and early detection of breast cancer through a series of special activities, details of which will be announced soon.
It commended the efforts of the UAE government in accelerating measures to fight Covid-19 in collaboration with members of the society, various public and private departments and institutions in the country.
The team is continuing preparations for the 11th edition, looking at ways to successfully design and implement safe and strategic measures to achieve its goals when it rolls out its week-long breast cancer awareness trek across the UAE towards the latter part of the year.
Since its inception 10 years ago, Pink Caravan has screened more than 75,000 women and men across the seven emirates and has acquired a fully equipped and staffed Mammography Mobile Clinic to expand its reach to distant corners of the country.
It has also assisted in equipping breast cancer screening centres located in the remote areas of the UAE and united the Emirati society in the fight against breast cancer.
The Pink Caravan roams the country every year to combine its educational messaging, with action in the form of free health screen checks for both women and men of all nationalities. Till date, PCR’s ‘Equine Route’ has seen the participation of 820 riders.
