The Making Strides event is a non-competitive 5k that is meant to celebrate breast cancer survivors and to express the hope and goal of ending a disease that threatens the lives of our loved ones. By participating in a Making Strides event you’re helping create a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays - where breast cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life.
There is no registration fee or minimum fundraising amount and people of all ages are welcome to participate. You can participate as an individual or as a team.
The money raised by this Making Strides event will:
Help people stay well by educating women to live healthy lives and reduce their risk for breast cancer, and to get screening tests such as mammograms to find breast cancer early
Help people facing breast cancer get well by providing information, day-to-day help, and emotional support to guide them through every step of their breast cancer experience
Find cures by investing in and conducting research leading discoveries into breast cancer’s causes and cures

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI really liked reading your post because I had no idea about this event. I think it's great that this is occuring right here in Duluth. Showing support for survivors and those affected by cancer is awesome. I like that the event does not have a participation fee, hopefully more people will be able to participate. It's great that you are spreading the word about this event and how you can make a difference in others' lives.
