Around 200 women rode bikes on Sunday to raise awareness about breast cancer.
Kauvery Hospital along with Women Motosport Club organised a bikeathon. Prabhkara Raja, Virugambakkam MLA, flagged off the rally, which commenced at the Vadapalani unit of the hospital and wound its way to the Corporation Playground at Raja Annamalaipuram, where the bikers were felicitated.
Iyappan Ponnuswamy, medical director of the Chennai unit of the hospital, said, “Almost 60% of women visit the hospital when they have reached the advanced stage of cancer. It is important to be aware of the early signs and symptoms of breast cancer to help in early diagnosis and better outcomes.”
