The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks raise awareness and funds to save lives from breast cancer. This event is a noncompetitive 5 mile walk that brings people together to make a difference for everyone who has been touched by breast cancer. Walkers take their first strides down the ZMax Dragway then cross over the bridge into the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The event raises money to fund innovative research, provide free information and support, and to help people reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it's most treatable. From the opening ceremony to the post-walk entertainment, a Making Strides event is a celebration of survivors and opportunity to remember loved-ones lost. It's a day that shouldn't be missed and won't be forgotten.
