How much would you like to donate?
Well it's that time of year again. A time when going for a nice long walk just seems like a good idea….Especially a walk along the Point Pleasant boardwalk .
On October 15th, Patty's Peeps team will be walking in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event to honor my sister Patty by raising money to help the American Cancer Society. Our 16th year!!
Help them find a cure, support cancer fighters and survivors, and to RAISE AWARENESS about breast cancer.
Patty was a cancer fighter for 2 1/2 years (apparently 2 years more than they thought she could) and I wish she had become a survivor but it was not to be. She spent those 2 1/2 years trying to get the word out about Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC). The doctors really don't mention IBC much because they rarely see it so they don't look for it.
I myself was discovered to have ovarian cancer in 2017 and have undergone 2 rounds of chemo. I am feeling good and I am asking you to come and walk with us and to donate. And if you can do both that would be great! We will also have a table in the Information Tent and will be handing out information about IBC.

I thank you all for taking the time to read this and also for doing what you can to help our Patty's Peeps team become one of the best teams walking on October 15th!
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.
