Join The Movement: ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ In Triangle Launches Aug. 22
DURHAM, NC – The American Cancer Society ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ is a celebration of courage and hope, a movement uniting communities to end breast cancer as we know it for everyone. Over the past three decades, the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) campaign has united communities, companies, and individuals. It has grown into the nation’s largest and most impactful breast cancer movement.
This year, Making Strides events will take place in more than 150 communities nationwide. These 3- to 5-mile noncompetitive walks provide a supportive community for courageous breast cancer survivors and people living with metastatic breast cancer, caregivers, and families alike.
The launch of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer kicks off with a new focus — the alarming number of African American women being impacted by the disease.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 290,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Women diagnosed with breast cancer are in the fight of their lives, and the American Cancer Society is raising funds for that battle.
By uniting communities and raising money, the Triangle can help the American Cancer Society fund breakthrough breast cancer research, provide free information and support, and help people reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it may be more treatable.
