BRYDENS DISTRIBUTION, local distributors of Astra Zeneca pharmaceuticals, has joined the fight against breast cancer by donating 150 diaries.
The diaries contain information on the disease in the region along with tips on how to detect it.
The artwork in the diaries was donated by artists in various territories. In Barbados the artists were Peter Lewis, Roland Weekes, Sophia Ward and Corey Scott.
Event coordinator Marianne Burnham told the DAILY?NATION it was the second year ?Brydens had undertaken the project.
“Our goal is to donate these diaries so that the groups can sell them and raise funds.
“This is a spin-off of the workshops that we’ve been having with different groups in Barbados,” Burnham said.
She explained that the company supported the Little Pink Gift Foundation’s effort to reach out to breast cancer survivors.
The project included a series of workshops conducted by women recently diagnosed and those on treatment. (CH)
