Pinkathon – Pune 2015 event coverage over a month long event at various locations. the culmination of the event was the grandrun on the 15th of November 2015 which saw the participation of over 6500 people (largely women).
Pinkathon is more than a Marathon. It is the seed of change. It is the beginning of a movement carried forward by a growing community of empowered women across India, who share a belief that a healthy family, a healthy nation and a healthy world begins with empowered women.
The first step in empowerment is taking control of your own health, respecting yourself and understanding and celebrating the value you bring to your family and society. Empowerment is not a gift of society; it is a gift you give yourself.
