Zimpapers will host its 10th annual Cancer Power Walk on Saturday across six Zimbabwean cities to raise funds for Island Hospice and promote cancer awareness. The media company has collected over $106,000 since starting the initiative in 2016, with last year's event generating nearly $28,000. Acting Chief Executive William Chikoto said the walk supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 by promoting health and well-being for all citizens.
Island Hospice Program Director Elias Masendu said the partnership has enabled home-based palliative care services nationwide and supports outreach clinics in underserved regions. The event will feature cycling, dance fitness classes, and walking distances from 5 to 21 kilometers. Organizers expect 3,000 participants this year and aim to raise $50,000 to expand cancer patient support services. The walk operates under the theme United by Unique through 2027.
