Help make a difference by attending Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and joining the American Cancer Society, friends, family, and new friends to raise awareness and money to fight breast cancer.
Please join your community to celebrate breast cancer survivors, educate women about early detection and prevention, and raise money to fund lifesaving research and to support programs to help us reach a day when no one will have to hear the words “You have breast cancer”.

Registration is currently closed at the cap of 3,500 entrants in the biking, running, and walking events, however, they are still accepting “virtual riders” who can still raise funds. The Dempsey Challenge fundraiser will benefit The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing, the brainchild of the Hollywood actor and Lewiston, Maine native, who knows personally how support and care giving services can directly impact the healing of cancer patients, as his mother is a four-time ovarian cancer survivor.
