The Cancer Research Foundation will hold the 21st Orchid Walk in Northern Cyprus

On April 28, the 21st "Orchid Walk" will take place on the hiking trail in the Dilekkaya Forest.

The event is organized by the Cancer Research Foundation (KAV) in collaboration with the CENGO-V Foundation.

An informational meeting dedicated to the walk was held the day before. In his speech, the President of the Cancer Research Foundation, Mustafa Kamgöz, emphasized the importance of foundations for society and stated that KAV is the only foundation in Northern Cyprus that deals with cancer research.

The professor also announced the imminent launch of a cancer drug they developed as a result of joint research with Imperial College. He emphasized that the foundation continues to fight cancer within scientific frameworks using donations received through collaboration with the Cengo-V Foundation for 3 years and the Orchid Walk, which they have been organizing for 20 years.

Mustafa Kamgöz thanked supporters and volunteers for their help and emphasized that without their active participation and support, this work would not be possible.

According to the President of the CENGO-V Foundation, donations received during the "Orchid Walk" event have contributed to cancer research.

"You can also contribute by participating in our 21st Orchid Walk on April 28 in the Dilekkaya Forest," the head of the foundation said.

The mayor of the Degirmenlik-Akıncılar municipality, within whose boundaries the village of Dilekkaya and the forest where the walk will take place are located, noted that cancer has begun to appear in every household and thanked all sponsors for their work and support.

"On April 28, in our village of Dilekkaya, the 21st 'Orchid Walk' will take place. As the Degirmenlik-Akıncılar municipality, we will be there, and we will continue to make this contribution every year," the mayor said.

Tickets for the 21st "Orchid Walk," which will start at 09:30 on Sunday, April 28, in front of the Dilekkaya Elementary School, can be purchased at the Telsim Ortaköy Shop for a donation of 200 Turkish liras, starting from the first week of March.
