Celebrities take big steps to advocate breast cancer awareness

Filipinos of all ages stepped out of their homes and comfort zones to join the culminating breast cancer awareness activity of global women’s company Avon, dubbed “130 Million Steps.” As The Manila Times reported in October, annually regarded as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the direct-selling brand designed an app of the same name to enable participants of their yearly run to track their total number of steps to be converted to funds for the advocacy.
