Sunday’s 23rd annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk at Westport’s Sherwood Island State Park is expected to attract thousands, according to organizers.
The walk begins at 10 a.m. with registration starting at 9 a.m.
Last year, nearly 15,000 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer participants raised over $1 million across Connecticut for the American Cancer Society (ACS), an announcement said.
The funds go for investing in groundbreaking research, providing free, comprehensive information and support to those touched by breast cancer, and helping people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it is most treatable, organizers said.
