Seypec staff lead World Cancer Day march 2016 |13 February 2016

A group of Seychelles Petroleum Company Limited (Seypec) staff were given the honour on behalf of the company to lead the 2016 World Cancer Day march organised by the Cancer Concern Association (CCA) of Seychelles in collaboration with the Ministry of Health. The march was held on February 4, 2016 which is the actual date World Cancer Day is commemorated worldwide.

Under the theme ‘We Can, I Can’ the annual CCA march from the Seychelles Hospital to the St Paul’s Cathedral was officially launched during a ceremony held at the Seychelles Hospital at 5pm whereby various organisations, groups and members of the general public had gathered to show their solidarity and support to families and friends who have lost their lives or are battling cancer.

As an organisation which values health and well-being, having taken part in the cancer march initiative for the first time in 2015, Seypec decided to again this year rally a team of staff in order to show its support for a worthy cause.

Other than taking part in the march, Seypec also presented a small token to the association on behalf of two staff who had recently lost close relatives to cancer. The contribution also included proceeds donated by Seypec staff last year for the cancer awareness and fund raising activity.
