Hudson Valley’s Breast Cancer Campaign

AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY ENCOURAGES THE HUDSON VALLEY TO TAKE ON THE $1 MILLION CHALLENGE! 15th Annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Campaign Raises Dollars and Awareness for Breast Cancer Kingston, NY

This year, to mark the 15th anniversary of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, the American Cancer Society encourages Hudson Valley residents to join the $1 Million Challenge. Every donation will fund critical research projects that could result in a breakthrough leading to less diagnosis and reducing the number of deaths per year and local patient and family service programs. This year, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks, non-competitive 5K events, will be held at two Hudson Valley sites on Sunday, October 17th. They are:

 • Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley; and

• Dutchess Stadium in Wappingers Falls

“Last year, 7,000 walkers raised more than $700,000, so the $1 million mark is within reach. The Hudson Valley’s generosity would be a huge boost in our efforts to make strides towards a world with less cancer and more birthdays.” In the Hudson Valley, nearly 1,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and nearly 200 will die from the disease. To join the challenge, go to www.cancer.org/stridesonline and start a team or make a donation.
