The City of Verviers is actively participating in the Pink October campaign, dedicated to raising awareness, promoting screening, and preventing breast cancer.

Two major initiatives are planned to support this cause. The first is the Race for the Cure, a solidarity walk taking place on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Participants can choose between two routes, 5.9 km or 11.6 km. Free departure will be between 10 AM and 11 AM from the hall La Brique Pilée in Lambermont. Registration costs 22 €, including a T-shirt.
The second initiative is a campaign titled 'Taking Care, Together', organized by the CHR Verviers with the support of the City of Verviers, from November 16 to 25, 2026. This campaign aims to inform and support individuals affected by cancer and their loved ones.
As part of this campaign, a conference will be led by Delphine Remy on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at the Hôtel Van der Valk Verviers. The theme will be 'The Art of Being There: Consoling and Supporting a Sick Person', aimed at patients, relatives, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
