Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is an opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors, remember people we have lost, and raise funds and awareness to help end this disease. It is not a race; it is a celebration of survivorship, and a time to share in the camaraderie of thousands of other people in a shared goal to end a disease that threatens the lives of so many people we love.
