In October, Cheverny sees Pink!
.
The Pink October awareness campaign is the spearhead of the combat against breast cancer. For the 15th year running, Cheverny Castle supports the French association called Le Cancer du Sein, Parlons-en ! (Let’s Talk About Breast Cancer)
.
Every night from the 1st to the 31st of October, the facade of the castle will be lit up in pink.
For the 15th year in a row, Cheverny Castle is participating in the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign with pink illuminations every night of the month of October.
.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women: 1 in 8 women is likely to develop breast cancer in her lifetime. It is one of the cancers that causes the most deaths in women even though 9 in 10 cases can be cured.
.
The earlier a cancer is detected, the better the chances of recovery. So, each year, early detection by screening saves thousands of lives.
.
Cheverny wants to contribute to this national campaign to encourage women to go for a mammography every 2 years.
.
So, let’s talk about it !
