Miss World & Breast Cancer Survivor Opal Suchata Chuangsri Joins

SUDHA REDDY FOUNDATION FOR PINK POWER RUN 2.0

International Icons and Local Champions Join Forces in Hyderabad to Advance Breast Cancer Awareness and Empower Communities

The Sudha Reddy Foundation, in association with the MEIL Foundation, unveiled the 2nd Edition of the ‘Pink Power Run’, dedicated to driving mass awareness and mobilising funds in the fight against breast cancer. The announcement was revealed today at an exclusive Press Conference at Trident Hyderabad, setting the stage for Hyderabad’s most anticipated run of the year.

This year’s run carries the inspiring tagline “Stride and Shine”, a call to move forward with courage, hope, and resilience. It reflects the belief that every step, whether taken in healing, in solidarity, or in advocacy, has the power to light the way for others. The theme honours survivors, supports those in the fight, and reminds every participant that their ‘stride’ can park change and their ‘shine’ can inspire an entire community.

Gracing the occasion were Miss World 2025, Opal Suchata Chuangsri, a courageous breast cancer survivor, and Miss Asia 2025, Krishnah Gravidez, whose presence added both glamour and gravitas to the announcement. On Sunday, 28th September 2025, the two global icons will join thousands at Necklace Road, transforming the city’s heart into a sea of pink in solidarity, strength, and hope.

A Movement Beyond a Marathon

The Pink Power Run is not just a marathon. It is a powerful movement uniting a community in the fight against breast cancer. Beyond the finish line, it champions the life-saving importance of early detection, advocates regular preventive health screenings, and stands in unwavering solidarity with survivors.

The 2025 edition features 10K, 5K, and 3K runs, opening its track to participants of every age, background, and fitness level. A defining feature of Pink Power Run 2.0 will be the inclusion of women runners from rural communities – a bold stride towards narrowing the urban-rural gap in health awareness and ensuring that the message of hope and prevention resonates far beyond city limits.

The CSR Vision Behind the Event

At the heart of the Pink Power Run lies a vision far greater than the race itself – a commitment to transform awareness into action and compassion into measurable change.

The Sudha Reddy Foundation, helmed by globally acclaimed philanthropist and entrepreneur Mrs. Sudha Reddy, has long been a driving force in healthcare and women’s empowerment across India. From large-scale breast cancer screening camps to awareness workshops and survivor support programmes, the Foundation’s work has touched millions of lives across both urban and rural landscapes.

Speaking at the press conference, Mrs. Sudha Reddy affirmed, “Breast cancer awareness is not just a cause, it is a responsibility we owe to every woman. Through the Sudha Reddy Foundation and the Pink Power Run, we aim to reach women in every corner of society, from corporate boardrooms to remote villages, with the life-saving message that early detection saves lives. The support from Miss World and Miss Asia amplifies our mission on a truly global stage.”

The MEIL Foundation, the CSR arm of Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd., brings to this partnership a formidable legacy of impact in healthcare, education, and social upliftment. Their support ensures that the Pink Power Run is not just an event, but a largescale movement, powered by infrastructure, vision, reach, and a shared determination to make a lasting difference.

A Survivor’s Voice Goes Global

Miss World 2025, Opal Suchata Chuangsri, stood before the audience not just as a global beauty queen, but as a woman who has fought and won her battle with breast cancer. Her words carried the weight of lived experience:

“As a breast cancer survivor, I have walked through the fear, the uncertainty, and the relentless fight that this journey demands. Today, I stand here to tell every woman, in Hyderabad and across the world, that you are never alone. Knowledge, early screening, and the strength of a united community can and do save lives.”

Adding her voice to the cause, Miss Asia 2025, Krishnah Gravidez, reflected on the deeper meaning of the occasion:

“This event is a reminder that true beauty is measured not by appearance, but by the actions we take, the empathy we show, and the purpose we live for. I am honoured to stand beside the Sudha Reddy Foundation in this fight. Because together, we can change the narrative on breast cancer.”

The press conference unfolded with a series of impactful moments, including:

o A screening of the highlights reel from last year’s Pink Power Run.
