Information about breast cancer

Pink Ribbon The nonprofit organization and Walking.be raised a total of €51,558.41

Pink Ribbon The nonprofit looks back with satisfaction on its collaboration with Walking.be. In 2026, the nonprofit “ Pink Ribbon ” (Walk for the Fight Against Breast Cancer), together with the organizer Walking.be, organized four walks across Belgium: the North C Walk on March 7, the 20 km walk through the Sonian Forest on March 28, the Longest Day Walk on June 20, and the Grape Walk on July 18. All the walks combined brought together 2,590 walkers, who in turn raised 51,558.41 for the fight against breast cancer.

From March through July, walkers could choose to support a good cause by participating in one of the Walking.be x Pink Ribbon walking events. By registering, a donation of €5 was automatically made to the nonprofit Pink Ribbon. In addition, many people raised extra funds to support the nonprofit.

Especially during the Longest Day Walk in Trois-Ponts, several teams committed to raising a significant amount of money. Among them was the team “Les Walking Women,” which raised no less than €3,774.52 for this walk. Their commitment began after the COVID-19 pandemic, when two friends from the group were affected by the disease. After their recovery, they continued walking to support research and patient care.  

The proceeds from the four walks will go toward the projects of Pink Ribbon related to research, prevention, and patient care. With the funds raised, Pink Ribbon will be able to continue its mission to improve the treatment and detection of breast cancer in Belgium.  

Meanwhile, the nonprofit continues to focus on walking and is launching the Pink March for the ... time during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Individuals, teams, and companies can all participate in this walking challenge and compete against each other to see who can take the most steps.

The more you walk, the better for your health

Need another push to participate in The Pink Walk? The largest study on the benefits of walking ever published concludes that for every 500 to 1,000 extra steps a day, you boost your health. From more than 4,000 steps, a benefit is demonstrable and at 20,000 steps you still have health benefits.

Count steps instead of minutes

We are advised to be active for 150 minutes each week for a healthy life and the lowest possible risk of cancer, but counting active minutes is not so helpful. According to new research, you might as well express your activity in increments. A lot more practical.
