Priscilla Ojo is set to participate in the upcoming Walk Away Cancer 12.0 event organized by the Medicaid Cancer Foundation, taking place in Abuja on October 31. This annual 5-kilometre awareness walk aims to promote early cancer detection and improve access to healthcare for Nigerians.

The event, which has gained traction in recent years, emphasizes the importance of timely healthcare interventions, with organizers highlighting that early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. The campaign's slogan, "One Walk. One Fight. Every Step Matters," serves as a call to action for the public to join in this crucial initiative.

Priscilla, who is known for her work in fashion and digital media, expressed her commitment to the cause through her participation. The event is expected to draw a large crowd, as it not only raises awareness but also supports individuals currently battling cancer.

Her mother, prominent Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, publicly showed her support for Priscilla's involvement by reacting to the announcement on Instagram with heart emojis, demonstrating her pride and encouragement for her daughter's advocacy efforts.

This initiative is part of a broader trend among Nigerian celebrities who are increasingly using their platforms to advocate for health issues, particularly cancer awareness. As discussions around cancer care and prevention become more prominent in Nigeria, events like the Walk Away Cancer 12.0 play a vital role in educating the public and fostering community support for those affected by the disease.

With Priscilla Ojo joining this noble cause, the hope is to inspire more individuals to participate in health advocacy and contribute to the fight against cancer in Nigeria.
