He set off from Nabek City towards the Medical City with the aim of breaking the barrier of fear about breast cancer and making early detection, and ended with providing a free "mammogram and echo" examination within the Qalamoun Medical City for all women who participated in the walk.

Using art and music to raise awareness about breast cancer and the need for early detection through:
- A concert was held at the Opera House in Damascus on November 5, 2015 to highlight the procedure for early detection of breast cancer, as the proceeds of the concert were used to contribute to the purchase of examination coupons that were distributed to female breadwinners and displaced women within the marginalized neighborhoods.
