A seaplane adorned with pink ribbons will fly over Dubai throughout the remainder of October to show support for breast cancer survivors and patients.
The initiative marks international Breast Cancer Awareness Month and aims to boost the morale of patients undergoing treatment.
Last week, five breast cancer patients were given a spectacular flight over the city on board the aircraft, taking in landmarks including the Burj Al Arab.
The sortie was arranged by Friends Of Cancer Patients (FOCP), in partnership with the Seawings Seaplane Tours.
“FOCP focuses on a variety of moral support events to help empower both patients and survivors,” said Dr Sawsan Al Madhi, director general of FOCP.
“We look forward to continuing this programme and hosting all our cancer warriors to enjoy this wonderful trip done by Seawings.”
“Seawings is creating awareness so our guests, from all corners of the globe, do not ignore simple steps that detect signs in early stages,” said Stuart Wheeler, CEO of Seawings Seaplane Tours.
