Support Team MWO at this year’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk by donating or walking with us on October 28th at Lake Eola Park. Since 2010 Team MWO has walked in solidarity with survivors, and in remembrance of those we have lost. Many of our team are breast cancer survivors themselves or have loved ones impacted by the disease. We walk for a world free of breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, except for skin cancers. It is about 30% (or 1 in 3) of all new female cancers each year.
The American Cancer Society's estimates for breast cancer in the United States for 2022 are:
About 287,850 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
About 51,400 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) will be diagnosed.
About 43,250 women will die from breast cancer.
We envision a future where our children no longer live with the threat of breast cancer and where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive this disease. By supporting the Making Strides movement, you help ensure the American Cancer Society can continue fighting for that same vision. Together, we can help fund the future of breast cancer research and programs for our loved ones today – and for the next generation.
