First National Bank Ghana joins ‘Run for a Cure’ race

First National Bank Ghana is set to participate in Run for a Cure, a breast cancer awareness run taking place in Accra on Saturday. This 5km race, organized by Run for a Cure Africa, is part of activities during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, also known as Pink October. The event unites individuals and organizations to raise awareness about breast cancer, promote early screening and diagnosis, and emphasize the significance of access to treatment and support for those affected by the disease. It will commence and conclude at Lincoln Community School in Abelemkpe, Accra.

First National Bank Ghana's involvement in this campaign, as it has over the years, aims to heighten awareness for early detection and treatment, as well as share stories of survivors empowered by early intervention. Sylvia Inkoom, the bank's Chief Executive Officer, stated that every step taken in the race is a celebration of inspiring stories of individuals and families affected by breast cancer. The survival and journey of each victim underscore the campaign's message: Every Story is Unique, Every Journey Matters.

Inkoom expressed that the bank's participation aims to honor the courage of people living with and those who have survived breast cancer. She described surviving breast cancer as a story of strength, resilience, and courage. The bank has encouraged employees, customers, business partners, and the public to join the event on Saturday, wear pink, and demonstrate solidarity with those affected by breast cancer and their families.

Inkoom concluded that the bank's consistent involvement in the campaign is a testament to its commitment to the health and wellbeing of the communities it serves.
