The Pink October Walk for Life took place today, starting in Pjazza Gavina Gulia in Cospicua and ending at SmartCity Malta.

Among those present were the Prime Minister's wife Michelle Muscat, Partit Demokratiku Leader Marlene Farrugia and Health Minister Chris Fearne.

The entrance fee was €10 + (0.50 Online Booking Fee). The first 500 that registered online, were given a FREE T-Shirt. People who register online were also given the chance to win a Prize consisting of a €1,000 Travel Voucher by FCM Travel Solutions.

Many held pink balloons as a symbol throughout the walk.

Pink October's primary aim is to spread awareness about breast cancer and empower both women and men by educating them about this disease. In Malta, over 300 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year.

Funds collected will be used to make breast cancer cure a little less cumbersome with the funding of medical machinery for breast cancer treatment.
