Thousands are expected to rally at SDSU Mission Valley’s Snapdragon Stadium and river park on Oct. 27 for one of the region's most inspiring annual events: the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Hosted by the American Cancer Society, the event unites survivors, thrivers, caregivers, families and supporters in a powerful show of solidarity and hope. The goal is to raise funds and awareness to end breast cancer. The event will also celebrate another milestone with the naming of its first-ever honoree: SDSU alumna and 27-year employee Tammy Blackburn. As a metastatic breast cancer thriver, Blackburn is a fierce advocate for cancer patients and established the Wallace Shatsky Blackburn Courage Through Cancer Fund, which supports students impacted by the disease."It's really wonderful that SDSU gets to be a partner," said Blackburn. "There are just so many groundbreaking and innovative things that we are doing at San Diego State. Our partnership with the American Cancer Society and Making Strides feels right and I am confident that we will look back at this years from now and say, ‘yeah, we did that, we saved lives.’” Blackburn will attend the event to cheer on participants and says though she’ll feel a surge of emotion, she’s inspired and eager to be part of this important cause.
