According to Google, "Each year in the United States, about 264,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women and about 2,400 in men. About 42,000 women and 500 men in the U.S. die each year from breast cancer." These figures come from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

This weekend thousands will be gathering in Ocean County to fundraise in the battle against breast cancer. The annual American Cancer Society Making Strides walk will take place in Point Pleasant Beach. There could be over 20,000 people on hand for this annual fundraiser which could generate a million dollars in fundraising efforts.

According to the American Cancer Society, the Point Pleasant Beach Breast Cancer Walk is the 4th largest in America. An amazing sea of pink will be seen on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach on Sunday, October 16th.
