Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Las Vegas To Hold Inaugural Strides Ride This October

This October may look different, but breast cancer hasn’t stopped and neither has the American Cancer Society and its dedicated group of volunteers with the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Las Vegas presented by OptumCare Cancer Care movement.

Join the first ever Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Las Vegas STRIDES RIDE on Sunday, October 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m… Drive through the south parking lot of Red Rock Casino Resort Spa. In keeping with safety guidelines and socially distant protocols, the Society asks that participants please wear masks and do not get out of their car during the route.

Participants, survivors, and the community are encouraged to decorate their vehicles with past or present team banners and all things pink. T-shirts, signs, window paint, streamers, and more are encouraged to show your pink spirit and your commitment to the fight against breast cancer.

We need your help more than ever as the American Cancer Society has been impacted by COVID-19. Our ability to fund cancer research has been reduced by 50% in 2020 – our lowest investment this century if current trends continue. We can’t allow progress to be put on hold because of the pandemic.

Funds raised through the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer movement enables the American Cancer Society to help breast cancer patients, a population vulnerable to COVID-19, to navigate their cancer journey during a pandemic. The Society offers advice on coping with cancer treatment side effects, answers questions about health insurance and so much more. Donations fund a round-the-clock toll-free helpline, 800-227-2345, and live chat at cancer.org; support research into cancer’s causes, cures and treatments; and promote education to reduce the risk of a diagnosis and to detect cancer as early as possible.
