 http://makingstrides.acsevents.org History of Making Strides In 1984, Massachusetts cancer survivor Margery "Margie" Gould Rath wanted to find a way to celebrate fellow cancer survivors by raising funds for the American Cancer Society. Working with a committee of fellow cancer survivors and other volunteers, she created a "move-along-a-thon" called Making Strides Against Cancer to bring people of all abilities together in an event to move the fight against cancer forward. The first event, held in Boston, drew 200 participants and became a yearly event in the city. To take part in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer please click on the sign up button below.
