The '5,000 Happy Steps' walking festival for Vietnamese cancer patients was organized by Salt Cancer Initiative (SCI) with the support of Nestlé Health Science.
The 5,000 Steps of Happiness Walk is a bridge connecting more than 1,500 cancer patients, their relatives, and the entire community and society.
Carrying the message "You don't have to fight cancer alone" , the "5,000 happy steps" walking festival is an opportunity to connect the community closer to the "warriors" in the fight against cancer, giving them and their loved ones more energy in their journey of health care.
Share , spread love and add hope
The organizers shared that 5,000 steps of happiness is not just a physical activity because it is also an opportunity for people to share and spread love and hope.
The festival is a bridge connecting more than 1,500 cancer patients, their relatives to the whole community and society. From here, we can encourage each other's spirit, bring positive energy, and overcome difficulties together.
The main theme of the 5,000 steps of happiness walk - for Vietnamese cancer patients 2024 is "Happy".
From the theme "Happy K", Salt Cancer Initiative wants to convey the message that happiness is a process that we go through together, not a destination.
Cancer is often associated with the letter K, such as thyroid cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, etc. Therefore, when mentioning the letter K, patients and society often immediately think of a terrible disease that brings sadness, is difficult to cure completely, and is full of negativity.
To change that mindset, Salt Cancer Initiative hopes to bring a more optimistic perspective, encouraging the community to open their hearts to welcome happy "K's", which can be memories, connections, expectations, desires or health...
Furthermore, the letter K can be associated with meaningful images, important and beautiful memories not only for the patient, but also for the healthy people who accompany them.
