Pink October: BATT walks for solidarity!
BATT Team mobilization
The BATT team is out in force for Pink October, the month dedicated to raising awareness and fighting breast cancer. In a show of solidarity and determination, our teams got together to take part in runs and walks across Nancy, Épinal, Dombasle and Neufchâteau.
In the autumn sunshine, our participants demonstrated an unwavering commitment, covering every kilometer with heart, hope and the will to make a significant difference in the fight against this disease that affects thousands of women every year.
Pink October: More than a campaign
Pink October is much more than just an awareness campaign. It’s a poignant reminder of the importance of prevention, early detection and support for those affected by breast cancer. In France, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Every year, over 60,000 new cases are diagnosed, and almost 12,000 women lose their lives to the disease*. Awareness and research are essential to reverse this trend.
We salute and warmly congratulate our teams for this remarkable demonstration of solidarity!
