The motorcycle community of Bahrain came together to participate in the THINKPINK 2023 Ride, an event dedicated to breast cancer awareness.
Riders of diverse nationalities hailing from both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia converged for this meaningful cause, donning pink attire, adorning their bikes with pink accents, and proudly displaying the iconic breast cancer ribbon, the universally recognised symbol of breast cancer.
This engaging two-hour event kicked off at the Avenues Mall in the morning, with more than 600 enthusiastic riders revving up their engines. They embarked on a thrilling journey through the picturesque landscapes of Bahrain, even taking a few laps around the tracks of the Bahrain International Circuit.
The event culminated at IKEA Bahrain, where the bikers were warmly received and treated to a hearty breakfast courtesy of IKEA and various vendors who had rallied together to raise funds for breast cancer awareness.
Roy Ribeira, one of the directors of Transworld IT and a member of the organising group Falcon Riders, stated, “A woman’s health reflects the health of the family. It is well known that prevention is better than cure, especially with breast cancer, where early detection has played an imperative role in saving lives.
We are here to spread the message about early detection of breast cancer as well as express our strong support for those who are and have been affected by this disease. It is a known fact that every 14 seconds, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and can be cured 100% via early detection.”
Globally, the month of October is recognised as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, during which various health campaigns are conducted to enhance awareness about the disease.
