The Vice Chairman, Aderonke Emmanuelking, shared a message of solidarity for those affected by breast cancer, highlighting the importance of community support.

“Today, we remember all breast cancer warriors — those who have bravely fought, the survivors who inspire hope, and families who provide vital support,” she said.

She said with the theme, “No One Should Face Breast Cancer Alone,” this year’s initiative underscores Adron Homes’ commitment to adding value and supporting society through impactful CSR projects.

Emmanuelking stated that by addressing breast cancer awareness and access to healthcare, Adron Homes is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the communities it serves.

Emmanuelking emphasised the importance of a balanced lifestyle, encouraging participants to avoid foods known to trigger cancer and to perform regular self-examinations.

She said Adron Homes believes that initiatives like these make a lasting impact, supporting both awareness and early detection as essential components of cancer prevention.

She said Adron Homes’ CSR commitment, in partnership with Pink Clinic, reflects its dedication to making a positive, lasting impact on the health and quality of life within Nigerian communities.

On her part, the Chief Medical Director of Pink Clinic, Dr. Linda Keku, expressed her gratitude to Adron Homes and Vice Chairman Olori Aderonke Emmanuelking, commending them for their ongoing humanitarian support.

She said this campaign represents a crucial step in raising awareness as breast cancer affects both men and women, and early detection is key.

Keku advised that if anyone notices changes in their body, it is important to consult a doctor for prompt screening.

The initiative also featured a walk against breast cancer to show solidarity and raise funds for cancer research.

Keku and her dedicated team conducted free screenings and provided expert consultations, ensuring that all participants received personalized attention and care.
