Several thousands of residents and workers in the Kumasi Metropolis and surrounding towns are expected to join the 2011 edition of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure walk.
The walk to be held on May 25 aims at raising funds for breast cancer education and is coming to Africa for the first time.
It is the brain child of American Nancy Brinker who in 1982 promised her dying sister Susan Komen of an end to the search for a cure for breast cancer.
In Ghana, the non-governmental organization, Breast Care International, led by its president Dr. Beatrice Wiafe Addai, a general surgeon and breast pathology specialist, is supporting the effort to raise funds for the global breast cancer education.
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is expected to address participants at the end of the walk.
