HSMAI Curacao

On January 25, some Chapter membes participated in the ‘Walk for the Roses’.
The Ride, Swim, & Walk for the Roses event is generally organized for two reasons:

1. to collect funds in order to assist the Princess Wilhelmina Foundation in their efforts to help combat cancer and
2. to help promote the thought that cancer not always translates to the end.

‘Cancer is curable’ it’s not a myth; it’s a reality in many cases.
During the events of The RIDE, The SWIM, & The WALK for the Roses the topic that will be most focused on is survival. Surviving this terrible disease is possible!

This year marked the fifth time that the Ride for the Roses Events was organized and the way the community has been sustaining these events en mass is an extremely positive sign.
Every year the event has shown a substantial growth. Not only in the amount of participants, but also in the amount of funds collected and in the awareness of the public with regards to the importance of early detection of cancer. Prevention has almost become the magic word. The Princess Wilhelmina Foundation puts all its efforts – coincidentally, this year they celebrate their 60th anniversary – into prevention. With the funds collected by The Ride for the Roses Events, PWF will be able to accomplish even more..
