Making Strides All Across Connecticut

MERIDEN — The next big step against breast cancer is the one people take together. Join the fight against breast cancer by participating in the American Cancer Society’s 16th year of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer in Connecticut. 

The 5k noncompetitive walk will be held at four Connecticut locations: Sunday, October 18, at Bushnell Park in Hartford and at the White Memorial Conservation Center in Litchfield, and on Sunday October 25, at the Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven and at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport. 

This inspiring walk unites the entire community to honor and celebrate breast cancer survivors, educate women about the importance of early detection and prevention, and raise money to fund lifesaving research and support programs to further progress against this disease.
