Making Strides of Leon

No Boobs No Hair Don't Care

This year I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at age 47.   I had to have a bilateral mastectomy.  I  am currently receiving chemotherapy treatments which will be followed by 33 radiation treatments.  Although not easy, I am grateful for my treatment options.  Luckily breast cancer is well researched and through donations we are able to have so many treatment options for patients like myself.   I want to get my story out there because I want everyone to get their mammograms every year as I did.  Even though my mammo was exactly a year apart, it goes to show how fast your situation can change.   I couldn't imagine if I skipped a year, how different my outcome could have been! 
 

I am 47, have no boobs, no hair and I DON'T CARE!! I will survive this! I have my family, a big smile on my face  and I'm living!! And that's all that matters!

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.

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.
