Making Strides of Jersey City Presented By Goya

Rosy's Riders

Hi everyone! My name is Rosy and I am a 35 year old breast cancer survivor! It all started on the morning of November 13, 2023 where I routinely checked myself. This time something felt wrong! I began to panic, then finally made a few calls and by the end of the day I went in for a doctors visit. After being referred for mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy- my biggest fear was now a reality. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma, triple negative. I began chemotherapy on December 28, 2023 and received my 16th and final treatment on May 10, 2024. Following treatment, I opted for a bilateral mastectomy on June 19, 2024. Finally, on July 3rd, 2024- I received the best news! The cancer was gone and treatment had worked!
 
This battle was not an easy one! The strong woman I once looked at in the mirror was brought to her knees with fear and anxiety. This walk is my victory lap! The one I feared I would never see! This walk is for my family, friends and coworkers who sent me inspirational messages, encouraging text, provided monetary donations or food to help lighten the load. This walk is for my sister, who started this journey with me but unexpectedly passed away before my last treatment. This walk is for the women that were recently diagnosed, currently receiving treatment, or have lost their lives. We are STRONG! We are RESILIENT! We are WONDER WOMEN!
 
Even though we all have our own reasons for joining Making Strides, we'll take down breast cancer because we're in it together. Our team is fundraising for the American Cancer Society's support services and lifesaving research.
 
Believe us, every dollar really does count, so we're asking for your help. Please donate or join our team today, because together we can end breast cancer.

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.
