Breast Cancer Walk - Sunday October 21st 2007
Dear NAAP-NY,
On Sunday October 21st 2007, thousands of New Yorkers will walk through Central Park in support of the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign. As the nation's largest source of private, nonprofit cancer research funds, the American Cancer Society has spent more than $3.1 billion on breast cancer research since 1946.
This year, NAAP-NY members and friends will join in this fight. The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk is a 5 mile non-competitive walk through Central Park.
Why should you walk? Like most other diseases, breast cancer does not discriminate! It has affected our community and will continue to do so until a cure is found. The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk keeps breast cancer on the public agenda; walkers and volunteers get the word out about lifesaving early detection, which is the best defense against breast cancer. Making Strides helps promote important public policies, including those which provide access to quality health care and screening for all women. It is also a reminder about the urgent need for increased research dollars to help find new treatments.
WHAT: Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk
WHEN: Sun. October 21st, 2007 - 9:00am
WHERE: Central Park - 72nd Street Bandshell (Starting Location)
