Walkathon to show support for cancer patients in Oman

Muscat: Thousands of people will take part in Oman Cancer Association’s annual walkathon tomorrow in a massive show of support for cancer patients.
The 13th annual event will take place tomorrow, 1 November 2016 at the Qurm National Park at 4pm, where people will walk over 5 kilometers in support of those with cancer.

Dr. Wahid Al Kharusi, Chairman of OCA, reiterated the need for raising awareness about preventative measures against cancer.

Participants can register at the several kiosks set up in Muscat including malls where information about cancer is available for educational purposes.

OCA will be selling shirts for OMR 3.5 and OMR 1.5 for caps where the proceedings will go to Dar Al Hanan, an association dedicated to help young children with cancer.
