The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk will be held Saturday, Oct. 24 in downtown Gainesville to unite the community with a shared determination to finish the fight against breast cancer. Registration for this noncompetitive, inspirational event begins at 7:30 a.m. and the walk is set to start at 9 a.m.

Dollars raised enable the ACS to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research; provide free, comprehensive information and support to those touched by the disease; and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it’s most treatable.
