Mark your calendars. Strides is coming to Springfield!

 

Whether it is a friend, family member, coworker, or you yourself, chances are you know someone that has had breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women, and one in eight women is at risk for developing breast cancer at some point in their life. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer gives you the opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors, remember those you have lost and help fight back against the disease.

 

The American Cancer Society in Springfield will be holding its 1st annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event on Saturday, October 17 at Jordan Valley Park at 9 a.m.

 

Making Strides is a noncompetitive 5K walk that raises awareness and funds to bring hope to those that have breast cancer and help bring an end to the disease. There is no registration fee and no minimum fundraising amount.
