Hey there! I'm Pamela King, the breast cancer warrior who started the 3X STRIDERS Team! I am one of the American Cancer Society's 2024 Portraits of Hope Ambassadors for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. In July of 2019, I was only 41 years old when I became the first woman in my family to be diagnosed with breast cancer. The lump I found in breast that summer that was caused my lymph nodes to swell, turned out to be Stage III, Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). This inflammatory, invasive, and aggressive cancer was spreading through my lymph nodes and metastasizing at a 95% rate! My treatment included months of aggressive chemotherapy, multiple biopsies, surgeries, and seven weeks of radiation. I rung the bell during COVID-19, on April 23, 2020. My journey continues with chemo fog, neuropathy, and lymphedema. TNBC is the deadliest type of breast cancer and accounts for 10-15% of all breast cancers. It's killing young black women under 40, who are usually diagnosed at Stage III. Through the American Cancer Society, I had the privilege of meeting the BJC Institute of Health research team at Washington University that is working relentlessly to find a cure. Their evidenced-based research empowers us to focus on the facts about breast cancer and dispel the myths that give super women, like me, a false sense of security. That's why I am Making Strides Against Breast Cancer as an American Cancer Society's Portraits of Hope Ambassador. Together, we can TRIPLE support for survivors, TRIPLE funding for research, and TRIPLE the number of lives saved. Here are 3 easy ways you can 3X HOPE: 1.

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.
