Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

(WPRI) - A world with less breast cancer is a world with more birthdays. That world gets closer and closer at every American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.

Join us for this inspiring event to honor breast cancer survivors, raise awareness about the disease, and to help save lives. With every step you take, you'll be giving people facing breast cancer more candles to light.
