Support Connection, Inc., a not-for-profit organization offering free support services to people affected by breast and ovarian cancer, says it’s not too late to get involved with their 25th Annual Support-A-Walk for Breast and Ovarian Cancer. The Support-A-Walk will take place on Sun., Oct. 6 (rain or shine) at FDR Park, Route 202, Yorktown Heights, NY.
The Support-A-Walk was founded twenty five years ago by local residents as a way to focus attention on breast and ovarian cancer. Each year, thousands of people take part in this spirited, uplifting event. Participants complete a 3-mile walk, often in honor of loved ones – a celebration of life and a tribute to those affected by breast and ovarian cancer. Families, friends, co-workers and teams of walkers are invited to walk together. Individuals are also welcome.
There are many ways to get involved! Ask friends and family to donate by setting up an fundraising page or asking for donations in person. You can raise funds alone or as part of a Team. You can also donate directly to the Walk. To learn about all of these options, visit www.supportconnection.org/donate-and-fundraise.
Support Connection’s year-round support services, which are funded by the Walk, have helped thousands of people since the organization was established in 1996. The Support-A-Walk also serves as a major awareness event, bringing attention to the needs of those facing the challenges of a breast and ovarian cancer diagnosis.
