Jacksonville Is Making Strides To Save Lives And Create More Birthdays

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - June 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the official breast cancer awareness campaign funded by the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society is leading the fight to end breast cancer – investing more in cancer research to find, prevent, treat and cure cancer than any other non-governmental organization. And we are leading the charge in Jacksonville. With over 6,000 walkers last year, we look forward to a large increase in numbers.

Last year, Florida was ranked as #2 in the country for money raised!! We

are calling on the city of Jacksonville to help us reach the top.

Jacksonville corporations, community organizations, churches and

residents will be making strides together to promote breast cancer

awareness and to honor breast cancer survivors and caregivers. We alo proud to announce  our Event Chair as Elana Schrader , Vice President of Product at Florida Blue and our Honorary Chair as Dawn Lopez, Reporter for Action News.

Our Walk check –in will begin at 7:30 am, and at 9 am we will kick-off our non-

competitive walk with  live djs, special performances, and more!
