Making Strides of Fairfield County

Patty's Pink Parade

Millions of women and families are affected by breast cancer every day, and our family is no different.

When you lose a mom, your life is altered forever. My Mom, Patricia Fedigan passed away six years ago from breast cancer that metastasized to her brain. She was a light in the lives of all who met her and a fighter until the end. Our family and friends will be walking and raising money in her name to honor her and the courageous way she fought. No one could light up a room quite like her and love and bravery now lives on in each of us walking for her. 

 

The funds we're raising will sustain critical research and provide services for people trying to cope with their breast cancer experience. Every dollar does count, so I'm asking you to please donate today. We cannot change what happened, but by coming together to walk and fundraise we can make a big difference in the fight against breast cancer. We know firsthand how this disease affects the patient, as well as the family and friends caring for them. This is why Avon is so close to our hearts, they are raising money to fund not only life-saving research but for the Hope Lodge, rides to and from chemo, and on-call patient and family care 24/7. For our angel Patty, in our hearts forever. We continue the fight for you, Mom.

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.
