WHO IS ORGANISING
Eric Cancer Initiative is a non-profit organization and a member of the Uganda Cancer Society committed to combating breast cancer in Uganda by providing breast cancer education/awareness training to women in communities, giving screen-up interventions, and providing follow-up support for any identified cases in different communities of Uganda. Thus, Eric Cancer Initiative influences positive health indicators around breast health and saves lives.
THE RUN
As an organization dedicated to empowering women and girls, we recognize the importance of early recognition of breast cancer for better treatment outcomes. Our experience has shown that women face significant barriers in accessing and utilizing breast cancer screening services, including limited access to health centres which do the screening and finances to pay for a mammogram test in private centres.
Join us in our charity run to raise vital funds for the breast cancer screen-up van! Annual breast cancer screening is crucial for early detection and treatment, but many women in Uganda cannot afford the expensive mammogram services offered in private health centres. Moreover, not all government health centres provide this essential service, leaving countless women without access to this life-saving screening. By participating in our run, you’ll be helping to bridge this gap and ensure that more women have access to free or low-cost breast cancer screenings. Let’s create a healthier, more compassionate community for all!
