This is the big week for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Due to COVID-19, they've have had to cancel the large-scale walk this fall. But you can still Stride Your Way this year.

Choose from multiple routes across the Wasatch Front to Stride Your Way. Stride as a team, stride by yourself, stride however you like! Wear your best and brightest PINK and be sure to post it on social media! Tag @makingstridesinutah!

Participate on your own time during Making Strides Week through October 24. Find a route nearest you here.

We talked with Amy Giuliano with the American Cancer Society about what's happening on the would-be walk day, October 24th.

Discover is hosting a special Survivor Drive-Thru Experience at the Hope Lodge.

You're invited to join them from 9 am to 11 am to receive your special survivor gift! As a note, these gifts are first come first served, so please be aware of that if we do happen to run out.

Rebekah Bernier was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013 at the age of 34. She has taken part in Making Strides in Utah ever since. Several members of her family have also been diagnosed with different types of cancer, so raising money and awareness has taken on a new meaning for them.

Remember, you can sign up and raise money through the end of the year too.
