Today, October 19, 2018, is World Breast Cancer Day. It's a disease we all fear. Any one of us could receive life-changing news. Fortunately, cure rates have increased significantly, and it's now possible to eradicate this disease.
From Mariquita Trasquilá, with the collaboration of
Marta in Brazil , as you know and as we mentioned in the post.
We are all pink, Mariquita joins the fight against cancer . We committed to helping in this fight that touched us so closely, and finally, it's a reality.
Last week, the
Trebujena Cancer Association (ACCT) and its president, Pepa Cancela, who, by the way, looked spectacular in the
Leonor dress, organized a very beautiful and moving event. This is the third consecutive year they have held this event, which took place in Trebujena itself.
The ACCT event
It began with Pepa speaking about how we should address someone going through this illness. Pepa told us about the lack of discretion some people show when discussing the topic and how it affects the mood of those suffering from it.
Next, Idelfonsa Sánchez Caro, a dietitian-nutritionist from Trebujena, gave a presentation on how to eat to prevent disease. Lifestyles have changed considerably; we've adopted harmful habits. The food technologist explained that we now eat more processed products, use a lot of packaging, and cook less. Idelfonsa emphasized the importance of going back 40 years, to when we ate more natural products, fruits, vegetables, and stews.

Finally, the presentation of certificates of appreciation by ACCT, the moment we had been most looking forward to, the moment to present our donation of €2,000. This amount was raised thanks to the sales of the Leonor dress. It symbolizes the commitment of our company and, of course,
of all of you who contributed by purchasing the Leonor model .
The entire Mariquita Trasquilá team accompanied Milagros to collect the diploma and present the check to Pepa. Milagros addressed the audience, explaining how the idea of collaborating with Marta in Brazil to fight cancer came about. She also emphasized the time they dedicated to contacting various organizations before connecting with Pepa and ACCT. The work she does with the association in the fight against cancer is truly fascinating. With each event, they strive to raise funds that will go to the Biomedical Research Foundation of Cádiz, located at the Puerta del Mar Hospital.
The entire Mariquita Trasquilá team hopes this marks the beginning of a new chapter. To that end, we have committed to continuing our collaboration in 2019, so...
ATTENTION! If you haven't had the opportunity to be part of this project this year, we will soon announce how you can join this great fight.
Ladybirds, together we can do anything! Colorful kisses!!!
