Women run to create awareness on cancer, obesity

More than 1,500 women participated in the marathon organised by GEM Hospital in the city on Sunday to create awareness on women’s health – particularly cancer and obesity.

Former athlete Shiny Wilson flagged off the marathon in the morning in the presence of Collector Archana Patnaik and the hospital Chairman C. Palanivelu.

A release says the marathon was a precursor to the ‘Penne Nalama’ programme the hospital had planned.

School and college students and women participated in the marathon. The hospital had categorised the runners based on age.
