Join Riverton Chevy in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

Pink is popping up everywhere! Its almost October, you know, its time to makes Strides!

The following steps can help you stay well and improve your odds against breast cancer.

• The earlier breast cancer is found, the better. Sign up for our breast cancer screening reminder and we’ll remind you when it’s based on our early detection guidelines. If you are 40 or older, get a mammogram and breast exam every year and report any breast changes to your doctor right away.

People should be afraid of the cancer, not the mammogram. ~ Nancy Reagan

• You can help reduce your breast cancer risk by maintaining a healthy weight throughout life, being physically active on a regular basis (at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity each week) and limiting alcohol intake to less than 1 drink each day for women (2 drinks for men).

Why Riverton Chevy is Making Strides
Almost everyone has been touched by breast cancer in some way, and our Making Strides walk empowers us to make a difference and fight back. This is your opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors, remember those we have lost to this disease, and raise funds and awareness to help end it forever. 

An individual doesn’t get cancer, a family does. ~ Terry Tempest Williams

Today 1 of every 2 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer reaches out to the American Cancer Society for help and support. The donations our team raises will enable investment in groundbreaking breast cancer research, free information and services for women diagnosed with the disease, and access to mammograms for women who need them. Our donations will help more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors celebrate another birthday this year!

Why Riverton Chevy is Supporting the American Cancer SocietySaving lives from breast cancer starts one team, one walker, and one dollar at a time. We know that the American Cancer Society is the leader in the fight to end breast cancer. We know that supporting them will ensure that if you need someone to talk to anytime of the day or night, they’ll be there. If your friend is losing her hair from chemo, your mother needs a ride to treatment, or a loved one needs a place to stay when treatment is far from home, they will be there to help.

Join us Saturday October 13, 2012 and together we will walk for a world without breast cancer.  The event is located at Liberty Park from 8 A.M. until 1 P.M.
