Pinktrain marathon 2023

1 May, 2023, 17 comments


Having survived the Covid-19 pandemic, charities and NGO’s are now experiencing the negative effects of the war in Ukraine, as many funds are, understandably, being channelled to fight this cause. However, the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer in Latvia remains on the increase - over 1200 new cases every year. Over the last 8 years the Pink Train Foundation has helped more than 1000 women diagnosed, covering the costs of psychological support following diagnosis and physiotherapy after surgery, and the number of women helped remains steady every year.

Following a three year break we are therefore delighted to announce that this year we are organising the Pink Train May Marathon again and invite you to take part and help us raise funds for our cause.

How can you participate?

  •  During the month of May run, walk, cycle, ride, roller-blade or use whatever other means to "do" 42k. Keep a tally of your achievements and invite your friends, family, colleagues and others to support you by donating to the Pink Train Foundation. Donations can be made via our fund-raising link or directly to our bank account or paypal account. All donations made in May will be counted towards our goal of raising a minimum of EUR 4200. (As a guide, we need an average of EUR 3000 a month to cover the costs of counselling and physiotherapy for breast cancer patients).

We would love it if you posted pictures of your efforts on your social media with one or more of the following hashtags #pinktrainmarathon2023 #rozāvilcienamaratons2023 #pinktrain42k (optional, of course).

Prizes will be awarded at the end of the challenge to the individual and group (family, friends, company or organisation) raising the highest amount, as well as those considered to be the most creative. The pinker, the better, of course!

  • Not ready to “do” a marathon in May? Support us or someone participating by making a donation!

Breasts are everywhere. On TV, in adverts, movies and magazines. We love to look at them; we love to stand out with them! They stir society, and yet their health is still taboo! We want to change this by launching a new campaign #PUPKULTURA. At the heart of this name and the movement itself is the idea that breast care must become an everyday part of our lifestyle and culture.

Campaign #PUPKULTURA

1 Feb, 2019, 1 comment


Breasts are everywhere. On TV, in adverts, movies and magazines. We love to look at them; we love to stand out with them! They stir society, and yet their health is still taboo!

We want to change this by launching a new campaign #PUPKULTURA. At the heart of this name and the movement itself is the idea that breast care must become an everyday part of our lifestyle and culture.

We will start with a campaign in February, under the slogan: “Take care of what you LOVE!” This will be a campaign in which we celebrate our love for breasts, because they have given us so much, from the day we were born!

The campaign will encourage people to remember to regularly check their breasts for any possible changes, as well as call for donations towards supporting women with breast cancer, giving them the opportunity to have counselling and/or physiotherapy sessions.

In 2018, the Foundation provided support for 150 women in Latvia affected by breast cancer. We anticipate that in 2019 this figure will increase to 250 and, in order to cover this support, we need to raise at least EUR 25 000.

Charity trip to Lielvārde

19 Mar, 2016, No comments
On 2nd April, 2016, after a long winter break, the Pink Train will head for a Spring journey to Lielvārde, which is just 1 hour by train and 52km from Riga. Lielvārde is the birthplace of national hero "Lāčplēsis" (bear-slayer), from the epic novel written by author Andrejs Pumpurs.
Photo: The bed of Lāčplēsis

We will head for the Andrejs Pumpurs Museum, where our guide will tell us a little more about the bear-slaying hero, about the town of Lielvārde and the traditional Lielvārde woven belt. We will be able to become “Lāčplēsis" ourselves and try out his bed of stone, and count how many times we can tie the Lielvārde belt around our waists.
