The Support Connection's Annual Support-A-Walk for Breast & Ovarian Cancer held on October 6, 2024, was a powerful and inspiring community event that brought together thousands of participants united by a shared mission: to support individuals living with breast, ovarian, or any gynecological cancer. Held each year, the Support-A-Walk raises essential funds to provide free support services such as one-on-one peer counseling, support groups, educational and wellness programs, and social activities. These services have made a profound difference in the lives of those facing cancer, offering them hope, strength, and a sense of community. The event is not only about raising funds—it's about creating a space where people can feel supported and connected. Families and friends walked together, celebrating survivors, supporting those currently battling cancer, and remembering those who have been lost. The walk serves as a reminder that no one has to face cancer alone. Businesses, organizations, and individuals from the community came together, showing their encouragement and compassion through participation, sponsorship, and donations. During the event, Westchester Talk Radio's Andrew Castellano had the opportunity to speak with Stacey Thompson about the meaningful impact of Support Connection's work.
