About the Walk

The journey to end breast cancer starts with a single step. Take that step with us at our American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Westport on Sunday, Oct. 21. Just a few hours of your time will help bring a lifetime of change for people facing breast cancer and their families.

Every Making Strides event is a powerful and inspiring opportunity to unite as a community to honor breast cancer survivors, raise awareness about what we can do to stay well from breast cancer, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society fight the disease with breast cancer research, information and services, and access to mammograms for all who need them. Read more details about how we put Making Strides donations to work.

This is a noncompetitive 5K (3.1 mile) walk open to all. We encourage students, families and friends, school groups, companies, and organizations to form teams. Many of our walkers have faced breast cancer. Some are newly diagnosed, some are still in treatment, many are years beyond their diagnosis. Others have lost loved ones to the disease while others have no personal connection but want to help ensure that progress against the disease continues.

In addition to walkers, we need volunteers to work at the event. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Westport is always looking for sponsors to partner with.
