10KSA is an initiative to raise awareness for cancer prevention and early detection through regular check-ups and screenings, and adopting healthier lifestyles

We are asking everyone to be their own health champion, have a check-up or get screened, and encourage others to do the same.

On December 8, show your support by forming a Lavender Ribbon.

Why Lavender?

Lavender is the universal awareness color for all cancers, symbolizing unity and solidarity with patients, survivors, and their families.

Why 10KSA?

The risk of developing many cancers can be reduced by making positive lifestyle choices, including regular exercise, balanced nutrition, stress management, and living smoke-free. Raising awareness and prevention, along with early detection, are key to reducing the risk of getting cancer, while also increasing the chances of treatment success.

Our Story

In 2010, to encourage greater participation in screening for breast cancer, we convened women in Saudi Arabia to achieve a Guinness World Record for the Largest Human Awareness Ribbon.

In 2015, we highlighted breast cancer awareness within the broader context of personal health and disease prevention – 10KSA culminated in an all-day wellness event, and almost 9,000 women joined to form a new Guinness World Record ribbon.

As we mark the 10-year anniversary of 10KSA, we unite communities in a shared commitment to raise awareness for all cancers.
