"A skydive is one of the most unforgettable ways to capture people’s attention, and that is what we want to do,” said Reem bin Karam, head of the Pink Caravan Ride Higher Steering Committee. “This brilliant act will not only symbolise our support for thousands of women facing breast cancer in the UAE, but it will also reinforce our ongoing efforts to educate the largest number of people on how to detect physical changes in their bodies through self-examination. I am asking UAE citizens and residents to take some time off their busy schedules and extend their support and solidarity to this noble cause, and join us, as we take a giant leap in our efforts to spread breast cancer awareness in the nation with this skydive.”
