Several thousand people participated in the 15th Race for the Cure event in Bosnia’s capital on Sunday.

Race for the Cure is Europe’s biggest sporting event for women’s health which helps breast cancer organisations and hospitals collect funds and raise awareness.

The proceeds of the humanitarian event in BiH will be used for mammography examinations in rural areas of the country and other types of assistance to women suffering from breast cancer.

The funds collected are extremely important, given that every year in Europe, 500,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed, and 130,000 people lose their lives due to the disease.
