7,500 people 'made strides against breast cancer' in Richmond.

By Kathleen Whitlow

Taking patients to and from breast cancer treatment. Providing lodging close to treatment centers when patients must travel long distances. Raising the confidence of women through beauty and makeup lessons.

Those are just some of the services provided by the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program, a nationwide series of fundraising walks held by the American Cancer Society.

The society held a 5-kilometer Making Strides walk on Oct. 19 in downtown Richmond. It raised nearly $575,000 to help in the fight against breast cancer.

LINC, the Legal Information Network for Cancer, is a Richmond-based nonprofit that has been in existence for 12 years.
