Pink Sari's message is universal and the event gave us a great opportunity to promote our key messages relating to early detection and Breast Screening not just to our local viewers but international viewers as well. Thanks for introducing us to McGrath Foundation. It was a great partnership with mutually satisfying outcomes. Thanks also to Farzana for a great article and for also communicating our message so articulately to the readers.
