Overcoming Barriers, Setting a World Record
Due to COVID-19, the conference was postponed from 2020 to 2021, with most participants joining online due to travel restrictions. Yet, this challenge sparked an extraordinary achievement—a world record that symbolized hope, resilience, and global unity. Under the theme “Building Lives with Miracles”, the organizing committee brought together members from advocacy groups, medical professionals, breast cancer survivors, and patients for a synchronized virtual fitness session. This initiative aimed to:
- Encourage self-care among patients
- Highlight the role of exercise in recovery
- Raise public awareness of breast cancer
