For the second year in a row, the favourite Pink Lady® Apple brand of South Africa’s True Cape invited more than 70 ladies led by the Breast Cancer Care Warriors and their president Ms. Shamima Patel. The ladies were treated to High Tea and an intimate discussion where the Warriors narrated their breast cancer plights in living and breaking the silence on the dreaded illness.

The corporate women who were invited had a lot to learn from these warriors about the need for consistent check-ups, and relationships with loved ones and mainly children on how to communicate with them on issues such as, “why is the hair falling, mommy?”,  weight and physical changes, including sleep. While listening to the warriors narrate their personal stories, it was not surprising to see a few shed a tear in memory of loved ones gone or their own reflections of pain endured.

In addition, two well-known and respected Lady Doctors, Aline Atchia of Active Health Care and Dace De Maroussen, a chrono-nutrition specialist, discussed the importance of Nutrition and Fitness for women’s wellbeing in health management of self.

A poem was read to honour the women who have passed away and at the same time to salute the ones who were present and still fighting the war to live. The entire theme was “Spread and Share the Love” and indeed, it was a love sharing moment for everyone present. Last year’s high tea gathering encouraged several women to go for check-ups and this might very well have saved their lives, it was reported.

A fundraiser consisting of mugs, pink puff cakes and other items were on sale to boost the funds that go a long way in reaching the patients for their various needs. The event was attended by the Ministry of Gender Equality representatives, the Surat family, Corporate ladies of Circus Samoa, Active Health Care and many more professionals.

The mugs and puff cakes are still available for purchase to warrant a worthy gift before the end of the year. Without a doubt, Pink Lady High Tea has become an annual anticipated event here in Mauritius.
