Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Pacesetters are a select group of walkers who are committed to achieving extraordinary results in fundraising for Making strides Against Breast Cancer. This category of top fundraisers was created to give the American Cancer Society the opportunity to thank and recognize those individuals who go above and beyond in their efforts to help fight breast cancer. Pacesetters are those individuals who raise $2,000 or more on their own.

Sue Harmon
When she was 32 and still nursing her youngest daughter, first grade teacher Sue Harmon felt a lump in her breast. She didn’t dismiss it. Three days later she had a definitive diagnosis: cancer, Stage II. It had already spread to two lymph nodes. She opted for a lumpectomy, and soon after surgery began the arduous road that so many veterans of chemotherapy know.
After she finished her treatment, she “knew that I had to make a difference with this disease”. She is now the number-two fundraiser in the country, having raised a total of over $325,000 in a nine-year period. Last October alone she raised $78,000 at Making Strides. It was her ninth Making Strides walk, and “Team Sue Harmon” boasted over 120 walkers. |
