Why do you walk? So that no one walks alone. You walk with us because we all share a destination, to end the pain and suffering caused by breast cancer. You walk with us in support of the survivors, as well as the ones we've lost. You walk for yourself and for the ones you'll never know. And you walk for the ones you hope that you'll never have to walk for. When we stand shoulder to shoulder, we all walk for each other. When you join our family of supporters, you give strength to the American Cancer Society and to all of us in fighting this disease. So start a team, or keep your team going. And keep raising awareness and donations. Get involved in our Making Strides events today! Because the sooner we begin, the farther we'll go. Fundraise now.
