Step 1
Sign up. The most apparent way to participate in a Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk is by signing up to walk 5 miles or 5 km on the day of the event (see Resources below).
-
Step 2
Get pledges. Ask friends, family members, co-workers and neighbors to support you as you walk by pledging a to donate through you. Most pledges are given as a flat rate, rather than per mile or kilometer. Pledges should be collected prior to the walk, so that you can turn them in that day.

Step 3
Team up. Get a group of friends or family members together and walk as a team. Wear matching (pink, of course) outfits that identify you as a team. Honor or memorialize a loved one who survived or succumbed to the disease.
-
Step 4
Donate. If you have obligations or health issues that do not allow you to participate in the walk, give money to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer by making a pledge to someone else who is walking. You can also make pledges on the organization's website (see Resources below).
-
Step 5
Volunteer. Even if you are unable to participate in the walk, there is certainly some way for you to be involved. More than 3 million men and women pitch in every year to help Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walks successful. You can volunteer to help set up or clean up, provide first aid or administrative support, greet and check in participants and much more.
