Thousands Unite in Parsippany for One Cause Tomorrow

PARSIPPANY — Thousands of local breast cancer survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and corporate and community members unite to help create a world free from the pain and suffering caused by breast cancer at the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K walk. This noncompetitive, inspirational event raises awareness and funds to end breast cancer and provides hope to ensure no one faces breast cancer alone.

The event will take place in Mack Cali Business Campus, 4 Century Drive on Sunday, October 16. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. Walk begins at 10:00 a.m., rain or shine.

Last year, 15,000 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer participants raised $720,000 in Parsippany for the American Cancer Society to invest in groundbreaking research; provide free, comprehensive information and support to those touched by breast cancer; and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it’s most treatable.

According to the American Cancer Society Cancer Facts & Figures 2016, an estimated 246,660 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,450 will die from the disease this year. In New Jersey 7,420 women will be diagnosed this year and 1,280 will die from the disease.

Since 1993, more than 12 million supporters have raised more than $750 million to help create a world free from the pain and suffering caused by breast cancer. Today, walks are held in nearly 300 communities nationwide.
