Strides RewardsTeam Jayna
Why We are Making Strides Welcome to our Team Page! Almost everyone has been touched by breast cancer in some way, so we've decided to make a difference by walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. Neal and Jana have been participating in "Making Strides" since around the second year. But they've been dealing with breast cancer for longer than that. Jana was first diagnosed 29 years ago. The second diagnosis came two months after they were married and the last one was after she'd gone eight years "cancer free." She's been blessed with good results, but they plan to keep fighting until EVERYONE is okay! Today, there is more hope than ever for people touched by breast cancer. However, there is still much work to be done to promote early detection and to help those impacted by the disease. Treatments are difficult, and we look forward to the day no one has to deal with this.
Although it is less common, men can still get breast cancer, because all adult humans are at risk to some degree. And even when men aren't the patients, they are very, very often the husbands, fathers, brothers,or friends of of those with the disease, so it hurts them, too. Either way, they are not forgotten in this fight.

To help make a difference, once again we're raising funds. The American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is a noncompetitive walk supporting the American Cancer Society's unique mission to fight cancer on four fronts: research, education, advocacy, and service programs.
One woman in eight gets breast cancer, but the disease also impacts everyone who loves her. We walk in support of Jana's fellow breast cancer patients, in memory of too many good women already lost to this terrible disease, and most of all for the little girls and young women out there, in hopes that they and their loved ones will enjoy long lives without having to worry about breast cancer.
Although it is less common, men can still get breast cancer, because all adult humans are at risk to some degree. And even when men aren't the patients, they are very, very often the husbands, fathers, brothers,or friends of of those with the disease, so it hurts them, too.

We hope you will join our team and walk with us, or make a donation. Hope starts here... with us!

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

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.
