Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Presents Stride Your Way

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The American Cancer Society and Action News Jax are teaming up to raise awareness and funds across our area. Celebrate with us the weekend of October 17th and 18th.

Get out and do a one-mile walk/run in your neighborhood with your family or closest friends! Making Strides of Jacksonville has partnered with the First Coast YMCA to track your virtual walk/run and earn your virtual medal on your phone and fitness devices! Instructions on how to get the app will be sent to you when you register at www.makingstrideswalk.org/JacksonvilleFL

Or… get creative! Go for a bike ride, have a car parade in your neighborhood, take a long walk on the beach or host a Pink Out Day at your office! How you choose to Stride is completely up to you!

We can’t wait to see how you will Stride Your Way this October, during breast cancer awareness month! Don’t forget to share a selfie or fun picture with your closest friends striding in your pink gear on social media using hashtag #StrideYourWayJax the weekend of October 17th and 18th!
