PEACHTREE CITY, USA – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Aventure would like to highlight initiatives within the aviation community that bring attention to this important cause.
Approximately 2.3 million new breast cancer cases are diagnosed annually, and 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. This makes cancer awareness and research that much more important.
Aventure has supported cancer awareness in meaningful ways. One example is the Real Men Wear Pink campaign, an American Cancer Society initiative where community and business leaders wear pink in October to raise awareness and funds for research.
By joining this effort, Aventure helped bring visibility to the cause within the aviation industry and showed solidarity with those impacted.
Team members have taken part in international efforts, such as Cycling4Cancer, a 1,200-mile (1,900-kilometer) ride spanning the entire length of Great Britain. This event was especially meaningful as it was done to support a team member’s wife, who was a recent cancer survivor.
The aviation community has a unique platform to unite people worldwide and to use that reach for important causes. Aventure remains committed to supporting awareness and research initiatives that bring hope to those affected by breast cancer.
