“Desteapta-te, Roamane!” or “Awaken thee Romanian!” is what the biggest sports star in Romania calls for. Simona Halep lights a candle for her nation even in her darkness to raise awareness about a prevalent form of cancer. She recently gave a speech addressing all the women in her nation at the ‘Lightning in Pink’ event. Renaissance Foundation put on the event to spread awareness and promote cancer prevention.
Simona Halep is the first Romanian to achieve the world number 1 ranking in Singles tennis. She has been in hot water ever since the two-time grand slam winner received a four-year ban for anti-doping rule violations. This tragic news disappointed millions of her fans across the globe. Can she ever make a comeback at this age? This is what her fans might be thinking.
Simona Halep is extremely gutted, but not down
The 32-year-old has made several sacrifices to achieve the top spot in women’s tennis. She has faced many challenges in her career. But a 4-year ban at this age might be the biggest setback she has faced in her career so far. But does it stop her from doing her duties as a national hero of her motherland?
She recently gave a speech in her native language at the ‘Lightning in Pink’ event, where she said (translated), “It is a great honor and a great joy to be with the Renaissance Foundation. As a sportswoman, but especially as a woman, I know how important prevention is, so I ask all women in our country to go for annual medical check-ups. Health is the most important and I say that with all my heart, especially in these moments. Let’s light the pink light of hope and rebirth together.”

Simona Halep’s speech while at the “Lighting in pink” event put on by the Renaissance Foundation to promote the prevention of breast cancer.
“I am extremely honored by this invitation. It is a great honor and a great joy to be with the Renaissance Foundation.
Breast cancer is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among women by cancer. If we chalk out the map of the number of cases across the globe, we will surely find the significance of Simo’s speech.
In the heartland of Simona Halep, the major cause of cancer-related mortality in females is due to breast cancer. The most concerning factor, though, is the increasing number of cases.
This worsening mortality model has led to an increased health gap compared to the female population of other EU countries. Indeed, the country is quite concerned about the need for implementing a population-based breast cancer screening, considering that prevention is the best way to eliminate it.
