Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Ocala, FL

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a 5k non-competitive walk that raises funds to help support breast cancer services and programs. At the event thousands of people walk to celebrate breast cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost and to bring awareness about the power of early detection. Last year Marion County residents and residents from surrounding areas raised over $149,000 and this year our goal is to raise $155,000!!! Right here in Marion County cancer patients are receiving free wigs, prosthetics (breast), bras, education, rides to treatment and so much. The American Cancer Society has funded 44 Nobel Laureates and this is a tribute to the highest standards the organization has to ensure we are funding the most cutting edge scientists with the most cutting edge ideas!
