OCEAN CITY – The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk will be held Sunday, October 16, 2016 at the Ocean City Boardwalk, and will unite the community with a shared determination to help create a world free from the pain and suffering caused by breast cancer. Registration for this noncompetitive, inspirational event begins at 8:30 a.m. and the walk is set to start at 10 a.m.
Dollars raised by Making Strides supporters help the American Cancer Society ensure no one faces breast cancer alone by funding innovative breast cancer research; promoting education and risk reduction; and providing comprehensive patient support to those who need it most.
Since 1993, more than 12 million supporters have raised more than $750 million nationwide. Last year, 6,000 walkers in the area helped to raise more than $300,000.
“Because of the determination of Making Strides supporters, the American Cancer Society is there for people in every community affected by breast cancer, whether they’re currently dealing with a diagnosis, may face one in the future, or will avoid it altogether because of education and risk reduction,” said Danielle McDevitt, Community Manager for the American Cancer Society. “At the event, communities embrace a bittersweet mix of purpose – celebrating survivorship and paying meaningful tributes to loved ones lost. From research to education, prevention to diagnosis, and treatment to recovery, we provide support to everyone impacted by breast cancer.”
