Milind Soman announced launch of SBI Delhi Pinkathon 2015

Milind Soman recently successfully completed Ironman triathlon, which is considered as the world's one of the toughest races. Going by the report, Milind Soman announced the launch of SBI Delhi Pinkathon 2015. It's a marathon of women that aims at breast cancer awareness among people. The purpose of this marathon is to highlight the active lifestyle and fitness among the women. SBI Delhi Pinkathon 2015 will be held in Delhi on September 6.

Talking about this, Milind said "Pinkathon is more than a marathon. It is the seed of change. It is the beginning of a movement carried forward by a growing community of empowered women across India who share a belief that a healthy family, a healthy nation and a healthy world begins with empowered women. The first step in empowerment is taking control of your own health, respecting yourself and understanding and celebrating the value you bring to your family and society. Empowerment is not a gift of society, it is gift you give yourself." He stated that "We now organize the Pinkathon in eight cities. More than 10,000 women run at each of these events over the 3km, 5km, 10km, 21km distances. They run in running gear but also in sarees, salwar kameez, hijabs and whatever attire they deem fir and keeps them comfortable."

Around 20 visually impaired girls will be participating in this marathon. Vinod Pande, General Manager, Corporate Communication and Change, State Bank of India said "We at State Bank of India are proud to be a partner in this great initiative for women that aims to spread awareness about breast cancer and promote women's well-being. It's a run for women, of women, by women."
