“Me and my God don’t believe that, we believe that I’m going to be fine”, Lopez said.

The Governor stressed the need for a country-wide initiative being launched by the State governments, private parties, NGOs and other stakeholders, to generate widespread awareness about the high incidence of breast cancer among women.

“We definitely encourage wearing pink, we will have a few great merchandise for sale at our walk which is part of our fundraising and those funds go to grants and research provided by the American Cancer Society”, said Johnson.

The American Cancer Society says breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death to women in the U.S.
