Walk for Life / Carrera por la Vida

Walk for Life / Carrera por la Vida Foundation is a charity dedicated to fighting cancer and helping those families affected by it. It is active in fundraising primarily in support of, but not exclusively for, breast cancer in both English and Spanish communities across Tenerife. As well as contributing to fundraising for projects by other organisations, the foundation also organises its own initiatives, notably The Bra Project, free scarves, Linfa project, Goodbag project etc. The Bra Project, for example, is to gift a post-mastectomy bra (with a base for a prosthetic breast) to every woman affected. This action is undertaken in conjunction with hospitals, to guarantee the highest quality and efficiency. All projects are listed on the foundation’s website.

In addition, Walk for Life / Carrera por la Vida Foundation operates The Pink Room, a welcoming space for information and events about cancer and for use by cancer patients and their friends and family. It is located at Residencial Las Torres, Calle Abinque 26, Portal E, 38670 Adeje, Tenerife. The Pink Room is open from 10:00am to 1:00pm Monday to Friday and also Wednesdays from 4pm to 8pm. A space for people affected by cancer, created by affected people and volunteering. See email and website details on this page for more information.
