Pink October in Nice

Pink October is a national campaign aimed at raising awareness among the French population about the importance of breast cancer screening and raising funds for medical research.

The City of Nice has made cancer prevention one of its priorities, promoting not only breast cancer screening but also a program dedicated to prevention and the promotion of physical activity for health purposes. In fact, to reduce the risk of illness, it is recommended to engage in at least 30 minutes of dynamic physical activity each day.

Throughout the month of October, various initiatives will be organized to promote physical activity as a preventive tool:

• October 1, 2, 3, and 5, 2024: Outdoor physical activity sessions with Nice en forme. Contribution of €2 per session at the time of registration. Information at https://reservation-sports.nice.fr/
• Wednesday, October 9, 2024: Guided tour organized by Acti’Santé Nice Nord at 2:00 PM, departing from the Gorbella tram stop.
• Thursday, October 17, 2024: Guided tour with Acti’Santé Fabron at 10:00 AM, departing from the Fabron tram stop. Free registration by emailing sportsanté@ville-nice.fr or calling 06.13.05.35.73.
• October 15, 22, and 29, 2024: Free workshops on healthy behaviors at the AnimaNice Notre-Dame Center, 18 rue d’Angleterre. Registration by email at asv@ville-nice.fr or by calling 04 92 17 44 86.

Additionally, the ILoveNice structure, located at Rauba Capeu, will be adorned with a large pink ribbon throughout the month of October, inviting passersby to take photos and share them on social media using the hashtag #niceenrose, in support of the fight against breast cancer.

Finally, a major awareness campaign will be launched throughout the city to remind women of the importance of regular breast cancer screening.
