World Breast Cancer Day is observed globally to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and support for those affected by breast cancer. Sports events are often used as platforms for such campaigns due to their wide reach and influence in communities.
World Osteoporosis Day aims to educate people about prevention strategies for osteoporosis through healthy lifestyle choices such as adequate calcium intake and regular physical activity.
