October marks the international “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”; the annual “Breast Cancer Awareness Walkathon 2009” was held on 18th October. This year sees more enthusiastic participation; nearly 800 supporters joined the event, raising a total of HKD 1.6 million.

The Peak turned “pink” on that day; everyone was enthusiastic to walk against breast cancer.
