THE Harley Davidson Owner's Group (H.O.G.) completed a two-hour bike ride to show support with Think Pink's breast cancer awareness campaign.

A motley crew of 41 riders all dressed in various items of pink clothing and accessories revved up their engines at the Harley Davidson dealership in Budaiya and stopped at the headquarters of five platinum sponsors of Think Pink.

"It has been an exciting ride and I think we were successful in drawing attention to Think Pink's cause on the island," said Sameer Habib Allah, H.O.G. safety officer and road captain.

l IN recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the American Mission Hospital is also organising several activities during the month.

These include a free breast examination and a mammogram for BD25. Breast examinations will be carried out in Manama throughout the month and in Saar on Saturday mornings. For an appointment contact the OB/Gyn Clinic at the hospital 17253447 Ext 210 or 3211.

The OB/Gyn clinic in Manama will be running Breast Cancer Awareness sessions between 10am and noon every day. These include breast self-examination demonstrations.

And, there will be a talk on breast cancer awareness on October 27 at 1pm. This will include the latest developments and will take place in the Samuel Zwemer chapel at AMH in Manama.

"A mammographic x-ray helps diagnose breast disease, and we encourage women to take advantage of this special offer and have a mammogram," said Dr Kenneth Kaufmann, AMH's chief of medical staff.
