The Pink Ladies’ Walk for Life, held on June 1st at the Emerald Isle, was a heartwarming display of compassion, resilience, and community spirit. Organised by the ever-committed Maria Wilson and her incredible team of Pink Ladies, the event brought together people from all walks of life with a shared purpose: to support local cancer services.
Thanks to the outstanding generosity of participants and sponsors, the event raised an incredible €9,023. This total was achieved through registration fees, donations, and sponsorships – a testament to the community’s commitment to making a real difference.
Among the standout participants was a determined group of six from Entre Naranjos, who walked as “The 6 Steps.” Their dedication was nothing short of inspiring, raising an amazing €3,110. Their efforts not only boosted the fundraising total significantly but also lifted spirits, exemplifying the unity and drive that define this event. They’ve already set their sights on breaking their own record next year.
Maria Wilson, who leads cancer support initiatives through the AACC and organises monthly support groups at Flamenca Beach, was overwhelmed with gratitude. “Every euro raised helps us provide much-needed support to those facing cancer. I’m truly thankful to everyone who joined us,” she shared.
More than just a fundraising event, the Walk for Life stands as a beacon of hope and togetherness. With preparations already underway for next year, the future looks brighter – and stronger – than ever.
