Nearly 250,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. That could be your mother, sister, daughter, your wife, or even you. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks are held so anyone touched by breast cancer won't have to face their diagnosis alone. It raises awareness and money to fund research, support services, and early detection. The purpose of Making Strides is to save lives.

Check-in at 7 am and the walk begins at 9 am.

• Dr. Gore will be front and center and also addressing the crowd as the chairwoman/event lead
