This team was put together in honor of my mom, Jamie Goins, who is currently fighting against Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I am not requiring any sort of minimum donation or fundraising amount for anyone that wants to come walk with me. I am just asking that you choose to participate in whatever way you want to 💗🌸 We are walking to show our support for my mom, and for so many others that have been affected by breast cancer. About 1 in every 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Only about 1 in 20 women diagnosed with breast cancer will have metastatic breast cancer at the start. Regardless of stage, no one should have to fight cancer alone. While huge strides have been made in breast cancer treatment in recent years, the statistics for metastatic breast cancer are still less than stellar. We still have a long way to go, and this is just the beginning of my personal journey to help get us there.

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.
