The new edition of “Juntos al Teta” brought together more than 350 people who climbed the hill that makes up the Chapelco mountain range, in the province of Neuquén, in order to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer.
At the top of the hill, almost 2,000 meters high, the participants formed the characteristic pink ribbon that represents the fight against the disease, and that aerial image travels the world.
The ascent route was 2.6 kilometers, from platform 1,600, and people complied with the order to wear pink in their clothing. Once at the summit, they formed the symbol of the fight against this disease.
Among the participants were recovered people, in recovery, and also those who made the climb for a friend or relative who is undergoing treatment.

He also stressed that “the effort made by the Chapelco team that organizes, works and helps to achieve it is very important.”
