After the huge success of BraveHearts’ Tour of Hope 2011 where they traveled 500 kilometers in 5 days from Manila to Laoag City last May 28 to June 1. This project was supported by Team David’s Salon and GlaxoSmithKline and celebrity who joined the event including Commission on Election Commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal, Rovilson Fernandez, Will Devaughn, Richie Hardin, Richard Herrera, Janna Victoria, Anthony Pangilinan, and others. Originally their goal is to have 500 women vaccinated against cervical cancer though this event because according to the research 12 Filipino women died in cervical cancer every day. The fight against cervical cancer continues as Bravehearts continue raising funds for free vaccination and information drive to all women and also to men.
Now, BraveHearts with its partners is having Tour of Hope 2011 Photo Exhibit in the Atrium of SM Mall of Asia Main Mall Grounds to share the adventure and passion of everyone who joined the 5-day biking from Manila to Laoag City in order to raise funds. This will run from October 1 – 5, and it will be shown also in other malls to reach out to others who wanted to take part of this fight against cervical cancer. At the same time everyone can pledge and give donations to the Tour of Hope 2011 box where all the funds collected will be use in giving free vaccination to women and also to be used in sending the message to others about the risk of cervical cancer. Photos were taken by Jun de Leon, Miguel de Leon and Paul del Rosario.
After the 2011 Tour of Hope, Bravehearts with its partners is now prepping for the Tour of Hope 2012 that will happen from Tacloban City to Cebu City in Visayan on April 10-15, 2011. For those who wanted to participate visit www.braveheartscoalition.org for details.
