The "Walkers for Life 2009" started at 9:00 o'clock yesterday morning with thousands of people accompanied by relatives and friends marching in support of cancer patients. Hoy newspaper says that some 50,000 people took part in the walk. The day, which began at the Plaza de los Heroes and went to the streets close to the Botanical Gardens, is already being described as a huge success. The chant "Yes you can!" echoed in the gardens all morning. There was no traffic to stall the walkers. The organizers had managed to get the authorities to block off the streets. The "Walkers for Life" project aims to raise public awareness of cancer and the funds raised will go to five institutions that work with people who suffer from the disease. Personalities from the political and business world took part in the walk. Frank Reyes, Milly Quezada and Frank Ceara provided the entertainment.
