Runners help raise awareness of cancer

Led by South Korean pop singer Hwang Chi-yeul, more than 3,000 runners gathered on April 10 at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center to kick off the AmorePacific Woman Health Charity Run.

During the event, AmorePacific China donated 8 million yuan ($1.24 million) to the AmorePacific Women's Fund, a charitable foundation under the China Women's Development Foundation.

The donation was targeted to support the prevention and treatment of the two major cancers (breast cancer and cervical cancer) for Chinese women, as well as the improvement of public awareness of such fatal diseases in China.
