This is a nationwide series of non-competitive walking events that heighten awareness of breast cancer and raise money for research, education, advocacy, and patient services. Locally in 2006, 18,000 walkers joined the 9th annual San Diego Making Strides and helped raise more than $1.1 million.
The kick-off breakfast is Thursday, August 23rd at the Mission Bay Hilton. The breakfast is a chance for people to learn more about the Making Strides event and hear updates on breast cancer.
