October is breast cancer awareness month, and San Francisco showed up Sunday to walk in support of breast cancer survivors, patients and caregivers.
The American Cancer Society's annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5k walk returned to Crissy Field in San Francisco Sunday, after taking a one-year hiatus in Emeryville last year.
The funds support a variety of services that the American Cancer Society offers to breast cancer patients, such as its Road to Recovery program, which gives patients free rides to treatment appointments. They also offer a Reach to Recovery Program, which is a peer-to-peer support network for breast cancer patients.
The American Cancer Society currently invests $76 million in breast cancer research grants. Funds from the 5k contribute to those grants. "We all wear the same shirt and we all bring our dogs and kids," Zaldana said, noting that they walk in honor and celebration of her aunt, Anita Santana Reynosa.
