Making Strides of Gainesville

Hakuna Ma Ta-tas

This fundraising page was created to walk on October 26th and support Krista Lane in her breast cancer journey. Our team is fundraising for the American Cancer Society's support services and lifesaving research. Below is a message from Krista: 

On October 14, 2024 at the age of 36, I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in my left breast and lymph node. As a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and teacher - I have a lot of fight in me and so much life to live! I AM READY TO KICK CANCER'S BUTT! This event will not only help to raise awareness about breastb cancer but will also help myself and those close to me to cope with this unexpected experience. Thank you for all the support and momentum as my family and I gear up for this next journey. I am excited to have an amazing community of support as we work to not only raise funds for research but we also support one another. 

Every dollar counts! Thanks for your support of our team! Hakuna Ma-Ta-Tas

How Fundraising Impacts Your Community

Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.

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.

Our Sponsors

Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against breast cancer.

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.

Join us. Donate today. Or walk with us.
