An United States Cancer Society walk Sunday along the Cincinnati riverfront raised $525,000 for breast cancer prevention, treatment, cure research and lobbying efforts.
More than 10,000 community members participated in the annual five-mile walk, called Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. The event honored breast cancer survivors, raised funds and provided educational information about the disease.
"The people who walked with us today moved us closer to a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays," said Dr. Brad Davis, the board president of the ACS's Hamilton County unit, in a press release.
Donations still can be made by calling 800-227-2345 or visiting cancer.org/stridesonline.
