It is the turn for people in Visakhapatnam to take part in the Breast Cancer Awareness run that has become a pan-Indian movement. It is about time, ‘Vizag Goes Pink’.

Fitness promoter, model and Pinkathon ambassador Milind Soman interacted with media and people here to shed light on the breast cancer awareness run an event in Visakhapatnam. He expressed the delight at how the event created space for women across the cities to come together as a community and extend support to the country’s largest running event dedicated to women. Gearing at taking up health and fitness into one’s hands, the awareness run is one of it’s kind. This will be the third edition and this is expected to draw a huge crowd of supporters and volunteers and runners.
