Platforms to raise awareness


 * A new avenue for the public share their story via the online tribute wall
 * A physical Tribute wall set up where participants can pin their tribute cards to the wall. Cards are easily downloadable
 * Blogs were featured where participants can write their stories.

Use of Pink
 * Pink, the official colour of breast cancer, became the predominant colour of the day. Most of the runners turned up in pink, the goodie bag was in pink, the bottle caps for the bottled water were pink.

More could be done to increase awareness of breast cancer. There was no evidence of education on breast cancer via the website, to teach the public on the early detection and screening process. Locations of screening clinics could be advertised, but was not present. On the spot screening could be done if possible in ‘mamo-busses’ on the event day to encourage early detection.
