Speaking onstage, event organiser and Founder, EBH, Hajira Ahmed said, “Fun, tears, hope and joy and lots of PINK along the way. We have had ten very PINK months of planning the THINK PINK Ball. As we all know cancer has no race, no religion and no boundaries. Cancer affects us all. My greatest inspiration for organising THINK PINK events has always been and will be both my beloved parents. Today we honour those we have lost to cancer and celebrate those who are fighting cancer.”
