Strides RewardsJudy's Sweety Pi's
Welcome to our Judy's Sweety Pi's Team Page. We have decided to start this team to support all people and their families that have been affected by breast cancer. This message is from Judy: I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in December of 2018. It was a day I will never forget for the rest of my life. I went for my annual mammogram and ultrasound in November of 2018, and found out I needed additional images taken because a mass was discovered. The additional images eventually led to a biopsy, and then the phone call from my doctor with the results. My doctor told me I had invasive ductal carcinoma. I burst into tears. All I could think was, "Oh my God, I have cancer." There are no words to describe the fear that engulfs you when you are told you have cancer. My faith, my family, and my friends all helped me get through this difficult time. I was also very fortunate that I had an excellent team of doctors by my side. I am very excited that my team, Judy’s Sweety Pi's , with be participating for the fourth time in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk being held in Albany on Sunday, October 15th. Whenever something bad has happened to me in the past, I always liked to see good come out of it. Having my own team participating in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is something good coming out of my diagnosis of breast cancer. Please consider joining my team and/or making a donation. My daughter Andrea has designed an awesome Team T-shirt for participants in the walk.

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.
