A larger-than-life inflatable chair that looks like it came straight from the Barbie movie set will be on display at Faneuil Hall. The grand centerpiece is part of The American Cancer Society’s larger event, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. The chair and awareness celebration will be in Boston on Saturday, August 12.
Visitors are encouraged to snap a photo on the chair and learn about the risks and signs of breast cancer as well as the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk coming up in Boston on October 1. The non-competitive 3-to-5-mile walks take place cross the nation. You can sign up for the October walk online.
The American Cancer Society states that “Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, except for skin cancers. More than 300,590 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2023. Since 1993, the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® campaign has united communities, companies, and individuals with a collective goal to end breast cancer as we know it, for everyone.”
Making Strides is the nation’s largest and most impactful breast cancer movement. The funds raised by the walk go towards research, patient support such as housing and transportation, and a 24/7 hotline to help those with cancer.
