While great strides have already been made toward defeating breast cancer, the American Cancer Society still needs support to see to it that your mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and neighbors will never have to know this disease. On October 14, 2001, a group of 25 MITRE-Bedford employees came together as a corporate team to participate in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Boston. Led by Julie Surer, the team raised $5,245 for breast cancer research. The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk was a beautiful five-mile walk along the Charles River Esplanade.
