SOS Breast Cancer
Founded by women and for women, the Nice-based association aims to support, work, and raise awareness. Their mission is to help women with breast cancer or gynecological cancer, and also their families, to live with the disease as best as possible.

In numbers, the association SOS Breast Cancer has:
- Helped 1,220 women since 2012.
- 22 activities per week.
Indeed, the association organizes numerous adapted physical activities, well-being activities, and personal development workshops throughout the year.

Upcoming events:
โ “PINK” JOGGING on October 2, 2022 in Nice
โ The “PINK” REGATTAS, a solidarity event that takes place on October 9, 2022, in Marseille, and in Antibes on October 15, 2022.
