Strides RewardsBUCK cancer
Hello friends and family!!! Last Fall, I was diagnosed with Stage 1, Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and up until now, I have kept my diagnosis pretty private. I wanted to take this opportunity to share my diagnosis as I have been extremely lucky to have had the support and encouragement of some close family and friends, as well as fellow breast cancer survivors, oncologists, surgeons, counselors, and others along this journey! Current statistics show that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with some form of breast cancer and this disease impacts not only the individual diagnosed, but all of those surrounding them. Early detection, including regular screening mammograms and ultrasounds, on-going research, and education encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle are all so very important. In order to help support the education, prevention and research efforts, that have been instrumental for me after my diagnosis, I've created a team to raise funds and participate in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Please donate or join my team today, because no one fights alone and together, we can BUCK cancer!!

As of January 2022, we have invested $71 M for potentially lifesaving breast cancer specific research grants.
We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021
Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.

Strides RewardsThis isn’t what I wanted.
Welcome to our Team Page. We've formed a team because this cause is important to us. We want to help. And walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is the best way we can do that. We all have different reasons for participating but we share a determination to help save lives from breast cancer.
There are so many ways that the money our team raises helps. It’s helping fund innovative research. It's providing free information for people dealing with the disease. It’s providing rides to treatment and places to stay for people who have to seek treatment far from home. In short, our money is helping save lives. Consider donating to our team and helping advance the cause.
How We Support the American Cancer Society
Of course we walk in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. And we solicit donations from family, friends, and other supporters. But we also schedule fundraisers in lead-up to the big event. Bake-sales, car washes, and countless other types of events. And we promote those on social media, through Facebook and Twitter, by word of mouth, and through flyers at work and around the neighborhood. The success of fundraising events depends on two things - hard work and getting the word out. And we're out to do both. Keep an eye out for our fundraising events.
