October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Cancer has touched the lives of each of us either as a cancer patient, survivor, caretaker or through the loss of someone dear to us.
Today's statistics tell us that one in every three women recieving a cancer diagnosis will hear the words, "You have breast cancer." But something can be done to change those numbers. Through research and testing that eads to earlier detection, fewer women will face that life-changing event.
On Sunday, October 6, our team The Walden Wildflowers will participate in the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk at Cantigney Park in Wheaton.
Would you consider helping the Walden Wildflowers in our mission? A donation to our team will help us in the vision of seeing women bloom and thrive as treatments, cures and services are furthered through research. By eliminating breast cancer we can prolong the lives of our mothers, sisters, daughters and all the wonderful women in the world.
If you click the "Donate To My Team" button at the top of the page, it will walk you through how to make a donation. We appreciate any donation big or small.
Stop by Walden Floral and pick up a hot pink "Making Strides" or a bright purple "Fighting Cancer since 1985" bracelet for a donation of $2.00. A portion of each arrangement will be donated to fight cancer.

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.

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.
