why participate wearing a pink t-shirt?

What is the meaning of the pink t-shirt in Greece Race for the Cure®

The pink t-shirt is worn exclusively by breast cancer survivors in Greece Race for the Cure®.

It is a way to show that we, breast cancer survivors, are here, that we are active and we participate in a celebration for our own life.

The pink t-shirt is a way to show other breast cancer patients that life goes on after breast cancer, that we keep on fighting and that hope is nearby.

The pink T-shirt is a way to tell that we have survived breast cancer.

The pink t-shirt is a symbol.

Even if you do not wish to wear it, you can join the Race wearing a white t-shirt.

We are here for you.
