On the other hand, the president of the AECC of Estepona, Julia Crespo, explained that the green bracelet symbolizes the color of the association and the color of hope. “We want this bracelet to become a universal symbol against cancer, which accompanies, supports and humanizes this disease,” continued the head of the AECC. “The objective is to put the focus on the different needs that patients and families live with,” added Crespo.
Finally, the mayor of Estepona has encouraged all citizens to collaborate in the various projects promoted by the AECC, because “we are aware of the incredible comprehensive work they do with the users they treat”.
