Mijas sponsors cancer association event

MIJAS Council has announced it will be sponsoring Caminamos Contigo (we walk with you), a conference on cancer to be held in Malaga on April 24-25.

Organised by AECC Spanish Association Against Cancer, the congress at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos in Malaga will host more than 30 meetings for medical professionals, patients, relatives and students and 35 stands will provide information on relevant subjects.

“The council has been working closely with the association for years because its work is vital. The help the Mijas branch of AECC gives patients and relatives every day is so important, we at the council can do nothing but thank them and do everything we can to help,” said councillor for health, Maria del Mar Rios.

The health department will be providing posters, leaflets, folders and other stationery for the event.

Meanwhile the tourism department will be handing out Mijas information packs, free bottles of water and tickets for donkey rides at the event.
