Company | Villeneuve-lez-Avignon: pink October, more than 250 walkers
Saturday morning, there was a great animation at the entrance of the counter-channel. Despite the constraint of the health pass, responding to the invitation of the Villeneuve branch of the League against cancer, the Volunteer Gym club and the association “Vivre la Plaine de l’Abbaye”, 254 people – not counting the children, some of whom in strollers, took part in the 3rd edition of the Pink October solidarity walk while the youngest took part in a clean walk initiated by the municipal youth council.
The donations collected on this occasion in the amount of € 3,045.50 as well as the € 200 from the sale of the Abbey plain books will be entirely donated to La Ligue contre le cancer.
As a reminder, from October 11 to 17, an exhibition of old postcards from the city and its surroundings and wine labels from the region (Jean Dumazer collection) will be visible at the Notre-Dame des Sept Sorrows chapel, from 10 a.m. at noon and from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Finally, on Tuesday, October 19, a debate will take place on the theme “To tackle the disease for a better rebound”, in association with the rugby club Les Angles Gard Rhodanien and its health rugby section (at 10 am, at the Forum in Les Angles).
