5KM Walk on World Cancer Day
Stepping Towards a Cancer-Free World
In 2022, on world cancer day, Marcelle Ruth hosted its first 5km walk, we took to the streets of Lagos to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and fundraise to improve access to cancer care.

In 2023, we continued this tradition with a growing number of over 500 supporters.

Through your generous donations, we have been able to provide much needed financial support to over 100 indigent patients towards various treatments including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy.

In 2023, we enhanced this initiative and launched the MRCC ‘Breast Care Day’, an educational conference attended by over 600 participants. Informative talks from leading specialists, along with an incredible fireside chat session, were instrumental in raising awareness and reducing stigma.
