Hackensack University Medical Center and its John Theurer Cancer Center extend an invitation to team up with the American Cancer Society to help save lives. Take the steps necessary to make a difference by participating in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer®, a 5K, noncompetitive walk that will be held at Bergen Community College on Saturday, October 18. The event will unite the Bergen and Passaic County communities to honor breast cancer survivors, educate people about steps they can take to reduce their risk or find breast cancer early, and raise funds to help end this disease.
More than 192,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and more than 40,000 will die from the disease. That’s why Hackensack University Medical Center and its John Theurer Cancer Center have made the commitment to join the American Cancer Society in creating a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays during Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October).
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is more than just the name of an event. It represents the progress being made to defeat this disease. Funds raised through this event will support the American Cancer Society’s efforts to save lives by:
Helping people stay well by preventing cancer or finding it early
Helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis
Finding cures through investment in groundbreaking research
Fighting back by encouraging lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.
