It is officially October which means it is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During the month of October, the American Cancer Society strives to find a cure and decrease the number of individuals who are diagnosed with breast cancer. Everyday, members of the American Cancer Society work extensive hours to raise money for treatments, research, and other medicines along with lodging, hospital bills, and transportation for those who have been diagnosed. The Society is full of kind-hearted and genuinely good people who ensure that no one fights alone.
During the year of 2023, approximately 290,560 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer. With the help of the Making Strides movement, that number will drop and continue to drop each and every year. The Making Strides movement raises money through fundraising along with their annual walk and donates all proceeds to cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers. Making Strides offers many services like one-on-one support to patients with breast cancer in a digital and in person way. They also have a 24/7 helpline that will be there for patients regardless of what time it is. Making it known that no one is alone during their fight is the most important thing and the American Cancer Society and Making Strides movement does a phenomenal job reassuring that.

It is never too late to sign up or donate, so whether you will be in the area or not, there is an endless amount of way for you to become involved!
