<strong>Celine Boucher of CIC Bosom Buddies</strong></p><p>“As a mammographer in our community working daily with patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, I am proud to be a team leader for Making Strides. My daily endeavor to provide support, information and treatment is my individual contribution. Seeing thousands of walkers on that special day in October is irrefutable evidence that I am not alone. It is breathtaking, heartwarming and inspiring, filled with love for those whose lives have been affected and hope that our efforts will help to find a cure. Our mission is all the same . . . to raise money and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer – a great cause, with each step helping to save lives.”

<strong>Kim Cote of Mission Possible</strong></p><p>“This past July, when my friend Betsy told me she was diagnosed with breast cancer, I found myself lost for words. I thought to myself, not another one, not Betsy. And she was amazingly upbeat and ready for the fight, but the thing she was most concerned about was letting her secret out to everyone before ‘she’ was ready to; she was going to go through chemo and knew she was going to lose her hair. This is where the services I had learned about through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and the American Cancer Society could help her, and I finally knew just what to say to her. I could tell her about the American Cancer Society’s Free Wig Program and the Look Better Feel Better program. I knew just how to assuage her insecurities because of the amazing services available at no cost to her, because of what we do, what I do, as part of Making Strides every October. This is why I walk.”
