The Pink Caravan initiative by the Friends of Cancer Patients came in for praise from its ambassador and daughter of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Shaikha Futtaim bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who donated Dh500,000 for the fight against breast cancer.
“I am proud of the Pink Caravan and its achievements and privileged to be an ambassador of this great initiative. It is an honour to be able to represent all the women of the UAE. I am delighted to be part of this mission and join this remarkable effort. I wish the team the best of luck,” said Shaikha Futtaim.
