American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the American Cancer Society's premier event to raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer. But it’s more than just the name of a walk – it describes the amazing progress we’re making together to defeat this disease. Since 1993, 3.5 million walkers have raised more than $230 million through Making Strides. In 2006 alone, 450,000 walkers across the country collected more than $40 million to help fight breast cancer. Visit http://makingstrides.acsevents.org for more details.
