Run and take steps that help against pancreatic and colorectal cancer

The "Steps that Help" race in Mexico raised awareness for pancreatic and colorectal cancer prevention, attracting around 4,000 participants and their families to support the cause.

On a recent day, the "Steps that Help" race was held at the Hipódromo de las Américas, organized by the Futeje Foundation and Grisi Foundation to combat the rising incidence of pancreatic and colorectal cancer in Mexico. The event emphasized the importance of listening to one's body to catch early signs of illness, promoting preventive measures and personal health awareness among more than 4,000 participants, who came with their families to support the cause.

The race, which began at 7:30 AM, was not just a competitive event; it transformed into a family gathering starting as early as 6 AM, highlighting community involvement in health advocacy. Participants engaged in a 5-kilometer race, contributing to a larger message that underlines the need for proactive healthcare. The importance of early detection was a central theme, echoing efforts to improve public awareness surrounding these cancers.

This initiative stands out not only for its charitable aspect but also for fostering a sense of community and togetherness in addressing serious health issues. By attracting significant numbers of participants, the event successfully brought attention to the critical needs of those battling cancer, and the hope is that such events will continue to encourage preventive health measures in the future.
