Suzanne Calton, Founder of More Than Aware

Founded in 2011, More Than Aware is a charitable organization started by a group of expat women here in Shanghai. More than Aware focuses on lifestyle prevention and recovery from breast cancer and encourages people to turn awareness into action. The annual Family Fun Run held at Century Park in Pudong is the largest charitable activity organized by foreigners in Shanghai. This year’s event, the 6th Family Fun Run, attracted more than 3,000 participants of different nationalities, age groups and gender, including 1,000 members of the Shanghai Cancer Recovery Club. What kind of stories does the team behind such a big event have? Our reporter invited Suzanne Calton, the founder and director of More Than Aware, to have a special interview to share with us her stories with More Than Aware and Shanghai.
