Hundreds of UAE residents from all walks of life, including breast cancer survivors, will come together in Dubai on Saturday, October 29 in a Guinness world record attempt to create the largest ribbon ever made of bicycles.
World’s Largest Ribbon Made Out Of Bicycles
This year’s Breast Cancer Awareness ‘We Conquer’ event will be held under the theme ‘pedal to fight’. It will be followed by a fun 10km community bicycle ride and is open to everyone! The ride is a part of the 30×30 Dubai Fitness Challenge and will begin at Dubai Silicon Oasis headquarters and end at Dubai Digital Park.
The ‘We Conquer’ awareness event is open to the public from 4 pm to 9 pm on October 30. Registration for the Guinness Attempt and Bike Ride can be done here.
“I am privileged to be part of this beautiful initiative that celebrates the fight of survivors and gives hope to the ones affected by breast cancer. No one is alone in the battle against cancer, you have an army of warriors, survivors, and people behind you” said Eman Thani, a professional Super Sport class cyclist.
“As organizers of this mega event, our aim is not just to fight breast cancer as one but also tap into the collective passion of the community in Dubai to drive action and impact,” said Pragna Vaya, MD of Orbit Events
