Meet dasBUUSENKOLLEKTIV and take part in the masterclass!
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women – 1 in 8 of us will be affected at some point in our lives. Yet only around 2 in 10 women check their breasts regularly. dasBUUSENKOLLEKTIV wants to change that, together with you!
dasBUUSENKOLLEKTIV e.V. will be at the VITAMIN WELL Women’s Run this year to break taboos and shine a spotlight on breast health. You can meet them here:
Warm-up at the adidas Sports Base (race material pick up)
Before you hit the course, pop into the adidas Sports Base on May 14. dasBUUSENKOLLEKTIV will be there from 2 pm to 6 pm with their self-check stand and touch-and-feel models.
Highlight: At 4 pm, the self-check masterclass will take place. The coaches will show you, step by step, how to examine your breasts.
At the EXPO and on the course
On May 16, you’ll find dasBUUSENKOLLEKTIV at their stand at the EXPO. Drop by for a chat, some tips, or simply a good dose of empowerment!
And the best thing is: it’s not just talk, but running too! Keep an eye out for the inflatable breasts along the route.
Why should you drop by?
dasBUUSENKOLLEKTIV is giving breast cancer a new face: colourful and true to life. You can learn what really matters from their models. Because knowing your body is the best form of prevention.
Make room in your closet and donate your shoes!
Do you have well-preserved sports shoes or sneakers at home? Then bring them along to the VITAMIN WELL Women’s Race Berlin on May 16. Berliner Stadtmission will be on site with a booth, where you can hand in your donations directly. We are collecting running shoes and sneakers for people experiencing homelessness.
Your support is urgently needed: up to 180 people are supported every day through the clothing center and rely on donations like yours.
Return your bottle and do good!
At the VITAMIN WELL Women's Race Berlin, we will collect your empty returnable bottles - whether given out by our partners or brought by you - in special collection containers on the event site. Our dedicated team of deposit collection volunteers will also be happy to accept your empty bottles.
All returnable bottles collected in this way will help in two ways: they will be recycled in an environmentally friendly way and the proceeds will go to the Berliner Krebsgesellschaft e.V. and therefore to women who are in financial need due to their cancer.
So: use the marked deposit containers or talk to our volunteers.
Please note that
- you do not need to crush the bottles,
- you tip out large quantities of residual liquid beforehand,
- do not throw any general waste into the deposit collection containers
Thank you for your support!
