Description
Cuffing Cancer is a non-competitive walk, run, bike ride or work out of the day that can take place at the convenience and location that the participant chooses. The objective of this race is to promote a healthy lifestyle and self-care by staying active during an unprecedent time in the world; where our new normal has been that of staying home and distancing ourselves from one another to stop the spread of disease. This event hopes to unite individuals with the common goal to fight Breast Cancer by raising awareness with each stride, pedal and grind to save lives. Our efforts will bring awareness and create a world with more survivors and less cancer. Let's show our support and admiration to the fighters, survivors and honoring the taken by never giving up hope and keeping them in our hearts as we complete this challenge. A portion of the registration will be donated to the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Charity.
This is your race, your pace.

Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States, after lung cancer. This year, the American Cancer Society estimates that more than 276,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women, and more than 42,000 women will die from the disease. That estimates to about 1 in 8 women and 1 in 1000 men in the US will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. While breast cancer is rare in men, they do represent about 1% of all breast cancer cases.
What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a disease that causes cells in the breast to multiply out of control. Most breast cancers begin in the ducts or lobules, and can potentially spread outside the breast and through blood and lymph vessels. When breast cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it is said to have metastasized.
Symptoms Some warning signs of breast cancer can include:
- New lump in the breast or underarm (armpit)
- Thickening or swelling of part of the breast
- Irritation or dimpling of breast skin
- Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area of the breast
- Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area
- Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood
- Any change in the size or the shape of the breast
- Pain in any area of the breast
Early Detection
When detected early, breast cancer is treatable and survivable.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. The chance that a women may die from breast cancer is about 1 in 36. Death rates from breast cancer have been dropping and these decreases are believed to be the result of early detection through screening, increased awareness and better treatments due to cancer research. In fact, there are more than 3.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States, including women and men in remission or currently undergoing treatment.
