Making Strides of North Texas

Hope Is Dope

Team Hope Is Dope is the legacy of my daughter Deetria Horne who lost her courageous battle with breast cancer on May 28, 2017. Seven seasons have come and gone, yet the grief of losing Dee to breast cancer still lives on. I continue the fight to honor her legacy and the impact she had during her lifetime.

I am also a 15-year breast cancer survivor myself. Although my daughter and I had different outcomes it is a testament to the importance of early detection. I continue to witness too many Black women being diagnosed at a higher rate, more advanced stages, more aggressive forms of breast cancer and younger in age. These are women I know personally, and it causes me to want to do more.

I need your help to continue the fight for a cure! No amount is too small, but I am asking you to do more this year to honor my 15th year of being cancer free.

Join team #HopeIsDope and support me in another year of fundraising. Join the team and donate because together we can make an enormous difference as fundraising supports research, information, and services for those who are fighting breast cancer and provides mammograms for women who need them.

Every day, the American Cancer Society (ACS) helps people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer through early detection when it is easiest to treat. Today, 1 out of every 2 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer reaches out to ACS for help and support. Let's help the ACS be there to help at this critical time in their life.

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.

$71M+

As of January 2022, we have invested $71 M for potentially lifesaving breast cancer specific research grants.

250K

229K+

Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.

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.
