This year’s cancer awareness campaign launch, organised by The Marigold Foundation, with the theme ‘Know the landscape within. Walk your path’ was held at the Verdala Castle.
Donations collected during this year’s campaign will be given in aid of the project to create the third Cancer Community Outreach Project, which will be in Gozo, in partnership with the Gozo General Hospital.
2025 is the 11th anniversary of the Pink October/Movember campaign, raising awareness of three types of cancer for women and two for men.
In her message, President Myriam Spiteri Debono highlighted the importance of awareness, and that information should be provided from the early years of a person’s life, from homes and schools, to instill a culture among people who understand how their bodies work and recognise the first signs of illness.
This launch event was also addressed by Michelle Muscat the Founder and President of the Marigold Foundation, Minister for Health Jo Etienne Abela, Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri and Minister for Inclusion Julia Farrugia, as well as patients.
