Over 5,000 people attend march to raise awareness of breast cancer
Around 5,000 people marched through the centre of Prague on Saturday to raise awareness of breast cancer. The march, which was attended mostly by young women, culminated in an outdoor cultural event at Žluté Lázně. Some 6,000 women contract breast cancer in the Czech Republic each year, and around a third die of the disease. Organisers said the aim of today's march was to remind women that women over the age of 45 can be tested for breast cancer free of charge and to raise money for health and education projects.
