Nearly 250,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. That could be your mother, sister, daughter, your wife, or even you.
The American Cancer Society holds Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks so anyone touched by breast cancer won’t have to face their diagnosis alone. They do it to raise awareness and money to fund research, support services and early detection.
The Walk was a noncompetitive 3-mile walk that brings people together to make a difference for everyone who has been touched by breast cancer.
