Still with the good taste in the mouth that the first Race for Life gala in a crowded Adeje Auditoriumthe Canarian Foundation that he presides Brigitte Gypen savor the commitment announced by the mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga on stage as the show came to an end. In his speech, the councilor announced the construction in his municipality of the “pink house”, a facility that will expand the support services currently offered by the Pink Room to people with breast cancer in the south of Tenerife.

The commitment of the mayor of Adeje was reciprocated with a standing ovation among those attending the event and especially grateful for the president of the Foundation, happy on a very special night for her and the rest of her team, dedicated to a new organizational challenge as has been the case. It was the first gala to premiere the foundation’s annual awards, with which people, groups, companies and institutions have been distinguished, and which in the first edition went to DIARIO DE AVISOS journalist Juan Carlos Mateu (Media ), Dr. Javier Cortés Castán (Research), Fonteide (Businesses) and the citizens of Arona and Adeje (Social Responsibility).

He mayor adejero He already told his government team a couple of weeks ago that he should start looking for a location where he could build the pink house, taking into account a set of factors that the building must consider, such as a suitable location and easy access. This search process among municipal plots that fit the needs of users and volunteers has already begun.

The Pink Room was inaugurated on October 2, 2016 in the Adeje Safety and Coexistence School building, in the Las Nieves neighborhood. Since then, it has functioned as a meeting point for people affected by breast cancer and their families, where they find moral support and informative activities are organized, such as talks by experts in this pathology or dialogues with cured patients. As Herminia Tacoronte, coordinator of the Foundation’s activities, often comments, “here, the users meet, get informed, relax and together we help each other to have more strength to fight.”

The idea of ​​creating the Pink Room arose improvisedly when, at a press conference to present the tenth edition of the Race for Life solidarity walk, Brigitte Gypen raised the idea with José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga. “It came out of my soul to ask at that moment for a space to hold meetings that could improve the quality of life of people with the disease,” recalls the president of the Foundation. The mayor took the gauntlet on the fly and publicly promised that the City Council would give him a place.

SOLIDARITY WALK

Meanwhile, the countdown continues for the celebration of the Foundation’s great annual event, which will bring together thousands of people on December 3 in the streets of Playa de Las Américas. The pink tide of solidarity will once again travel the more than four kilometers that separate the shopping centers of Siam Mall (Adeje) and Safari (Arona), in the known as the golden mile, in the most participatory meeting of those held in the Islands to make breast cancer visible and insist on the importance of its prevention.
