On October 22nd, at 7:00 PM, CDUP-FADEUP will host a mega Hydrogymnastics class, conducted by instructors Joana Rocha and Rita Ferreira. For all activities, the dress code suggests wearing pink, in tribute to the international symbol of the fight against breast cancer.
The solidarity aspect of the program includes a walk with registration costing 8 euros (including a t-shirt from the Portuguese League Against Cancer - LPC) or 5 euros (without a t-shirt). Other activities cost 3.50 euros for the U.Porto community and 4.90 euros for external participants. UPFit members participate for free.
