Support Connection Inc., a nonprofit organization, invites the community to participate in the 30th annual Support-A-Walk for Breast and Ovarian Cancer from 9 a.m. to noon on October 6 at Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) State Park, in Yorktown Heights, NY.

The event aims to bring attention to the needs of individuals living with breast, ovarian and other gynecological cancers. Thousands of participants from the Hudson Valley and beyond walk each year to celebrate or honor those affected by these diseases. Proceeds help fund Support Connection’s free, year-round programs and services.

“Whether you are showing your support locally or from afar, you can participate in the Support-A-Walk,” says Arianna Goggin, communications and development manager. “Join us in FDR Park or walk in your own neighborhood. Walk on your own or form a walk team with your family and friends. Whether you walk or not, you can donate and fundraise. Spread the word to everyone you know. Your participation will make a difference in many lives.”

Support Connection, based in Yorktown Heights, provides emotional, social and educational support to anyone impacted by breast, ovarian and other gynecological cancers. The organization’s toll-free helpline and virtual programs extend their reach nationwide.

Location: FDR State Park, 2957 Crompond Rd., Yorktown Heights. For more information or to make a donation, call 914-962-6402 or visit SupportConnection.org/support-a-walk.
