OCTOBER became the month commemorated as the month care about breast cancer international. In this month, you may see more pink color everywhere.

Breast cancer is internationally symbolized by pink ribbons. But on the other hand, not only pink bands are used to symbolize breast cancer.

This year, continued Linda, two new Jakarta icons that appear in pink. But in the next year, he hopes more city icons are displayed with the pink color coming from the lights. This is intended to increase public awareness of breast cancer.

"Next year I hope the icons in big cities like Surabaya, Bandung, Makassar can do the same thing," he said.



Decision of Jakarta Governor Djarot Saiful Hidayat made the appearance of Monas and Semanggi stacking bridge apparently enough to encourage cancer survivors. This was revealed by Linda Gumelar.

"I am touched by the testimony of cancer survivors, they say 'We are not feeling alone'. About 300 people in our foundation say so, I am really touched, "explained Linda.


In addition to the pink city icons, Jakarta is also filled with pink colors of 1,000 pink dolls that are distributed to social media in the #DoubleTreePinkMonth campaign.
