In 2010 Journey of Hope Botswana (JOHB) embarked in its first Breast Cancer Awareness “Big Ride” across Botswana. A group of 12 women drove their pink Vespas stopping in five important cities in the country. They started off from Maun in the North and ended their journey in Gaborone in the South, reaching approximately 800 men and women with awareness talk workshops and providing over 300 free breast examinations for those who attended.

 

The second Big Ride starts today, Monday 22 August 2011. The 12 riders are joined by 4 pink support vehicles, 1 ambulance, 4 registered nurses and 8 support volunteers.

This year they will leave from Gaborone and head north for Maun, 1000 kilometres away. They will travel through an alternate route in order for Breast Cancer Awareness talks and breast examinations to be held in selected settlements not reached by last year's ride.
