“5,000 steps of happiness” with the participation of doctors and experts
With the theme "Happy K", the 2024 Vietnam Cancer Walk is a bridge connecting more than 1,500 cancer patients, their relatives and the community to encourage their spirit, bring positive energy, and overcome difficulties together. Cancer is often known as K such as: thyroid K, lung K, breast K, etc. Therefore, when mentioning the letter K, the first thought of patients and society is often about a terrible disease that brings sadness and negative feelings. To change that thinking, Salt Cancer Initiative wants to bring a more optimistic perspective, encouraging the community to open their hearts to receive other happy K letters, such as Memories, Connections, Expectations, Desires, Health, etc., or K letters associated with meaningful images, important and beautiful memories not only for patients, but also for healthy people who accompany them. With the theme “Happy K”, Salt Cancer Initiative wants to convey the message that happiness is a process that we go through together, not a destination. With the companionship and support of Nestlé Health Science, in addition to the walking activity, Salt Cancer Initiative organized a nutrition workshop led by Prof. Dr. Le Thi Huong, Former Director of the Institute of Preventive Medicine and Public Health , Hanoi Medical University. At the workshop, Prof. Dr. Le Thi Huong shared useful knowledge about nutrition, exercise, and comprehensive health care for cancer patients and emphasized: “Nutrition plays an important role in the process of cancer treatment, because nutrition not only supports the treatment but also helps improve the quality of life for patients. Proper nutrition helps patients face the treatment process with strength and feel happy moments in life”.
With the theme “Happy K”, the program wants to convey the message of happiness to cancer patients as well as the community.
Mr. Zubin Trikha, Head of Specialty Nutrition, Nestlé Health Science Vietnam, shared: “We are honored to accompany this meaningful event. Nestlé Health Science always wants to bring the best nutritional solutions to improve the quality of life for everyone. Through events like “5,000 happy steps”, we have the opportunity to share joy, hope and strength from the solidarity and support of the community.
