CHIANG RAI – On October 9, the Chiang Rai Red Cross Chapter hosted a special event to support local breast cancer patients. The heart-warming campaign, known as ‘Sabina Sewing Cup Sewing Heart,’ took place at the Robinson department store.
This lively gathering aimed to raise vital breast cancer awareness among Thai women across the northern region. Furthermore, it focused deeply on providing essential emotional support to those bravely fighting the disease.
Mrs. Suwaporn Jitpleecheep, the Deputy President of the Chiang Rai Red Cross, officially opened the touching afternoon ceremony. Dozens of caring volunteers gathered to sew artificial breasts for patients in urgent need.
