BALI PINK RIBBON WALK 2014 IS ON!
A Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Fundraiser
Bali Pink Ribbon was founded by Gaye Warren, a British breast cancer
survivor who has lived in Jakarta for more than twenty years. Following
her own treatment for breast cancer and her husband’s retirement, they
moved from Jakarta to Bali. Shortly thereafter, Gaye discovered that the
infrastructure in Bali for making women aware of breast cancer was
almost non existent, notwithstanding professional medical expertise
being available on the island with at least two hospitals offering
breast cancer treatment to patients.
