The program was organised by Dr Borker and her team who arranged a “pink and white” theme for the occasion and ensured that everyone had a merry time. Breast Cancer victors Prashanti Talpankar, Shyamal Vaigankar, Vrinda Tavora and others shared their experiences with the attendees which was followed by a Victory Parade featuring all the survivors.
