Cotiviti Cares has announced PINKWalk, a fundraising and awareness walkathon for breast cancer. Cotiviti Cares is the corporate social responsibility team of Cotiviti Nepal, a healthcare informatics organisation with headquarters in the US.

The organisers reveal they aim to have a positive impact on the community, particularly in the areas of health, education, and the environment, through the event.

According to Cotiviti Nepal, the primary objective of the PINKWalk is to increase awareness about breast cancer, promote early detection, show support for those affected by the disease, and raise funds for research, treatment, and support. All proceeds from the event will go to the Cancer Care Nepal Society, an organisation working to fight against breast cancer.

Interested participants can register for the event via IMEPay. On-the-spot registration will also be available on the day of the event.

PINKWalk will take place on September 30, starting at 6:00 am. Participants will move through Narayan Chaur, Nagpokhari, Kantipath, Sohrakhutte and Shova Bhagwati during the walkathon. The event will end at Swayambhu.

“We are eager to raise awareness about this important cause,” says Shashank Shrestha, a software engineer at Cotiviti Nepal.

The walkathon is open to participants of all ages and backgrounds.
