It is the largest socially responsible event, the goal of which is to raise awareness in the fight against breast cancer in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“We are joining patient associations that will organize this activity throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.

After two pandemic years, we expect around 10,000 participants,” the president of the Association “Biser” Mersiha Pecikoza says.
