Breast Cancer Walk Moved from Orchard Beach


Annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Event to be Held in Bay Plaza on October 23

BRONX - The annual Bronx Breast Cancer Awareness Walk will be relocated from its usual location of Orchard Beach to the Bay Plaza Shopping Center. The move comes as the city constructs a tent city at Orchard Beach to house the growing migrant population. 




Organizers announced that the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer will be held on October 23rd at the Bay Plaza Shopping Center outside Co-op City. The annual event which draws hundreds was put on hold for two years due to Covid.




“The American Cancer Society is there for people in every community affected by breast cancer, whether they’re currently dealing with a diagnosis, may face one in the future, or will avoid it altogether because of education and risk reduction,” said Rosemary Perez-Bell, Associate Director of Development at the American Cancer Society. “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer gives us the opportunity to celebrate survivors and thrivers, fund the future of breast cancer research and programs, and ensure all women and men have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive breast cancer.” 




Organizers stress the need for breast cancer screenings following the lockdown. During the pandemic many people put off health screenings even after hospitals and clinics reopened.




“Our simple message is this -- breast cancer screening saves lives,” said Dr. Arnold Baskies, breast cancer surgeon and past chairman of the board for American Cancer Society. “Screening is safe and effective and should be a regular part of your life. It keeps you informed about the state of your health even if you don’t have any symptoms and catching cancer early allows effective treatment options to be identified.”
