This year NCBW has signed up to walk in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and we're hoping you’ll walk with us. We know there are a lot of breast cancer events out there, but Making Strides speaks to us because funds raised enable the American Cancer Society to help people stay well and get well from breast cancer, find cures, and empower people to fight back today. With your help, we can save lives.
If you’d like to join us at Making Strides, please visit our team page. If you won’t be in town, we hope you’ll still support our efforts by making a donation of any amount you can spare.
As a little extra inspiration, we thought you might like to know a few of the ways the funds raised through Making Strides will help the American Cancer Society save lives every day.
When you walk and make donation...
* More people in our community will have the information and tools they need to help prevent breast cancer or find it early. * More people with breast cancer will have a place to turn around the clock to help them through every step of their cancer journey – whether it’s a free ride to treatment, a place to stay, or just talking to someone who has "been there." * More progress will be made toward finding breast cancer’s causes and cures. The American Cancer Society has played a role in nearly every major breast cancer breakthrough of the last century, which have led to the discovery of lifesaving breast cancer treatments like Tamoxifen and Herceptin. You will help us find more. * More women – like our own mothers, daughters, sisters, and grandmothers – will have access to lifesaving mammograms and treatment they need.
Each of us has our own reasons for caring about the fight against breast cancer … whatever your reasons, we hope you’ll choose to make a difference by signing up to walk with us or making a donation online. We are so grateful to have great people like you in our life who care about helping fight breast cancer!
