Survivorship at the Centre as Recover Guyana Launches 2026 Breast Cancer Awareness Activities

(Kaieteur News) – For the fifth consecutive year, Recover Guyana has partnered with One Communications for Pinktober, continuing its commitment to breast cancer awareness, early detection and meaningful support for persons affected by cancer.

The organisation officially commenced its 2026 Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities on 2nd October with a special event at Maharaja Palace celebrating the strength, courage and resilience of cancer survivors. The gathering reinforced a central message of this year’s campaign: Breast Cancer Awareness Month must extend beyond wearing pink – it must translate awareness into meaningful action.

Thirteen cancer survivors were honoured during the event: Deborah Johnson-Jones, Judy Bayley, Zoreen Alli Outar, Hermanetta Andrews, Trudy Cummings, Roneta Williams, Lakshmin Narayan, Sarita Halim, Sremala Churaman, Chandrawattie Samaroo, Sylvia Dias, Chandrattie Singh and Nalini Boodanrine. As part of its commitment to supporting their continued health and wellbeing, Recover Guyana and its partners provided GY$100,000 to each survivor in direct financial support. Each survivor also received a GY$35,000 dental voucher from Flawless Dental GY and a GY$20,000 voucher from S&K Imports GY.
