Pink October: from prevention to action 💗
Throughout the month of October, our D-EDGERS participated in a series of initiatives to raise awareness and support individuals affected by breast cancer. Here’s a look back at the four key actions we took at D-EDGE to support this vital cause this year.
- 🎗️ Showing our colours: from Italy to Singapore, our employees showed their support by wearing pink or a pink ribbon, helping to amplify the message of prevention and solidarity. It was a way for everyone to visibly show their support for the cause.
- 👟 Running for the cause: our team in Bordeaux laced up their running shoes to participate in a charity race organised by the Ruban Rose association. By joining the event, they not only raised funds but also helped promote the crucial message of breast cancer screening and early detection. It was a great example of our people turning awareness into action.
- 💬 Opening the dialogue: we hosted an educational talk to raise awareness among D-EDGERS about the risk factors associated with breast cancer. The session was led by Jocelyne Rolland, a physiotherapist and creator of the Réseau des Kinés du Sein. She provided valuable information to encourage regular screening and open conversations about health.
- 🧵Creating heart-shaped pillows: thanks to a collection of t-shirts and sewing workshops organised across our French offices, our teams came together to create 39 special heart-shaped pillows. These pillows are specifically designed to help relieve post-operative pain for breast cancer patients, offering comfort and a small gesture of care during their recovery.
