For the past 4 years the American Cancer Society’s nonprofit, bipartisan advocacy affiliate the American Cancer Society Cancer Action NetworkSM (ACS CAN) has enabled Making Strides participants to fight to change the face of breast cancer in our nation’s capitol. Thousands of dedicated Making Strides volunteers have made their voices heard and together, with ACS CAN, they are urging Congress to ensure that every woman has access to lifesaving mammograms and treatment.

This year, we’re asking you to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself, “what if it were me?” Because of inadequate funding, less than 1 in 5 eligible women gets the lifesaving breast cancer screening and treatment they need through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.

To make your voice heard and to urge Congress to ensure that all women have access to lifesaving cancer screening and treatment, please visit www.acscan.org/makingstrides.
