Fitness promoter, model and Pinkathon ambassador Milind Soman interacted with media and people here to shed light on the breast cancer awareness run an event in Visakhapatnam. He expressed the delight at how the event created space for women across the cities to come together as a community and extend support to the country’s largest running event dedicated to women.
