On Saturday 3rd February Maria and the Pink Ladies and Panthers together with the Zenia Boulevard management once again held an event at Zenia Boulevard to mark “World Cancer Day”.
The actual date is always February 4th but due to the Boulevard being closed on Sunday the event was brought forward to Saturday, the day started with Alfie “G” from Sunshine FM playing some tunes, he then went on to front the whole day for the Pink Ladies. Supporting Alfie on the day was Holly Hepburn, Lee David, Chris Packett, Jada Mai. who kept the crowd entertained throughout the day.
Maria and the Pink Ladies took to the stage at 15.00hrs to request the crowd to take part in the one minute´s silence in memory of all those who have lost the fight, to support those still fighting and to give thanks for all who have survived this heinous disease. The Pink Ladies booked 5 early detection cancer screening tests on the day and raised a total of €875 all of which will be donated to the AACC to help in the fight against cancer and support their “Early Detection Program”
Maria said ” Cancer now affects one in two people and encourages the people of the Orihuela Costa to take advantage of the Early Detection program and book a test because EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES. She would also like to thank The Boulevard management, Alfie, all the entertainers, and her volunteers, all of whom donated their time freely to this great cause.
On Monday it was the turn of the Orihuela Council to commemorate “World Cancer Day” which they did with their traditional line up outside the town hall. The Councilor for Health, Irene Celdrán, as joined by the Más Vida association and the Spanish Association Against Cancer, headed by Esteban Sanmartín and Conchi Martínez, respectively, along with councillors and representatives from ONCE, Caja Rural Centra and Hidraqua.
There was also the reading of a manifesto in the Plaza del Carmen, next to the Orihuela Town Hall.
