The wife of the President of the Republic of Macedonia, Ms. Maja Ivanova, attended today and supported the humanitarian event "Go Pink 2014", organized by the association "Borka", dedicated to the fight against breast cancer.

In her speech, Ms. Ivanova expressed support for the pink "Borka" campaign aimed at raising awareness on the fight against breast cancer.

"With this, we actually give support to families and friends of those suffering from breast cancer. We give support and thank the dedicated doctors and nurses who are struggling daily along with their patients. We give our support and gratitude to all the sponsors, donors and friends of this campaign. But the outpouring support we give to those who are facing the illness in these moments, those who need immense support from all of us. Let us help them overcome this period and come out as real winners. Even today, I send sincere greetings to them, believing that next year they will walk, upright and proud, the pink ribbon drawn on the streets of our capital with us. Our prayers and thoughts are with you," said Ms. Ivanova in her speech.

At the event, Ms. Ivanova took part in the pink walk as part of a awareness raising campaign for breast cancer.

"The Pink Walk this year was announced by Borka members with the words: "For all those who have chosen to believe and for all those who dared to fight". Today, I stand with them, and I am one of them and I proudly walk with them. Together we will spread the pink message, we will form the pink ribbon, and together we will fight against breast cancer," said Ms. Ivanova.

The wife of the President of the Republic of Macedonia supports this event ever since it was launched and backs all activities of the Association "Borka" in the fight against breast cancer.

The campaign was also supported by the US Ambassador, Mr. Paul Wohlers, and the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Macedonia, Ms. Gordana Jankuloska.
