October 12, 2012 — Join Morgan Palmer, KIRO 7's Family Connection Partners, the American Cancer Society, and more than two thousand walkers from the South Sound area for the annual "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk on Saturday, October 13, at Theatre Square in Downtown Tacoma.

Funds raised through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer support the American Cancer Society's fight to end breast cancer. Specifically, these dollars are used to make a difference in the following ways:

  • Helping people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early when it is most treatable
  • Investing in research to find, prevent, treat, and cure the disease
  • Providing free information and services to help people facing breast cancer today - when and where they need it - including transportation, lodging, wigs, support programs, financial assistance, and more
  • Ensuring access to mammograms for women who need them, and encouraging lawmakers to pass laws to defeat breast cancer
